machine create a self-signed certificate for SSL server or can import any registered
certificate (issued by another CA) to the machine.
• When performing SSL communications using a self-signed certificate created on the machine, or a
certificate with which the character code is encoded with UTF-8, you will not be able to connect
with SSL if Internet Explorer is used with Mac OS X v10.2 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.
• You cannot import a certificate that has been already registered in Device Certificates or Other
Certificates. Delete the registered certificate before importing.
Setting the self-signed certificate and the HTTP - SSL/TLS communication
1 Set the self-signed certificate settings as necessary.
For details, see "Security Certificates".
2 Select Security J SSL/TLS Settings.
3 Enable HTTP - SSL/TLS Communication.
4 Set HTTP - SSL/TLS Port Number.
Importing a certificate issued by another CA
1 Import the certificate.
For details, see "Security Certificates".
2 Select the certificate in the Security Certificates screen.
3 In the certificate details screen, make sure that Category is set to Device Certificate,
and Certificate Use is set to SSL Server.
Step 2 Configuration on the Computer
To encrypt communications between a web browser and the machine, enter an address
beginning with "https" instead of "http" in the address box of the web browser.
• Example of IP address entry:
https://192.0.2.1/ (IPv4)
https://[2001:DB8::1234]/ (IPv6)
• Example of Internet address entry:
https://myhost.example.com/
When encrypting IPP communications (Internet printing) and adding a printer from Add
Printer, enter an address beginning with "https" instead of "http" as the URL of the printer.
Configuration of Encryption using IPSec
This section describes how to encrypt communications using IPSec.
Step 1 Import and Configuration of a Certificate
The following describes configuration procedures to set up a certificate with Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool.
When IKE Authentication Method is set to Digital Signature, configure a certificate on
