Xerox 7232, 7242 manual Creating a Self-Signed Certificate, Enabling and Setting SSL/TLS

16 Security

NOTE: When performing SSL communication using a self-signed certificate created on the machine, or using a certificate written using the UTF-8 character code, the following will occur:

•On Internet Explorer on Windows 98SE or earlier, the information of [Issuer] and [Issued To] written in the certificate will not be displayed correctly.

•On Mac OS X 10.2 or later, connection to SSL will not be established on Internet Explorer.

These problems occur because the above operating systems do not identify the UTF-8 character code. When you use any of the above operating systems, therefore, use Netscape 7 as a web browser to avoid the problem.
