Configuring Certificates with CentreWare Internet Services

Configuration on the Machine

Two methods are available to configure certificates with CentreWare Internet Services: creating a self-signed certificate (for SSL server), and importing a signed certificate from a Certificate Authority.

This section describes how to create a self-signed certificate (for SSL server).

NOTE: When SSL communication is performed using a self-signed certificate created on the machine, or using a certificate with which the character code is indicated by UTF-8, the following occur:

•If Internet Explorer is used with Windows 98SE or earlier, the issuer/issuing place of the certificate will not be displayed correctly.

•SSL connection will not be made if Internet Explorer is used with Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

This is because the operating system cannot recognize the character code (UTF-8) of the certificate. Use Netscape 7 in the above-mentioned OS environments.

For information on importing certificates with CentreWare Internet Services, refer to Properties in the CentreWare Internet Services chapter on page 173.

NOTE: When a certificate is to be imported, if the same certificate has been already registered in [Local Device] or [Others], the certificate cannot be imported. Delete the registered certificate before importing.
