278 | Encryption and Digital Signature Settings
Step 1 Configuration on the Machine
Configure a certificate on the machine. When Automatic Self-Signed Certificate
Creation is set to On, a self-signed certificate is automatically created as the SSL server
certificate. If necessary, import a certificate issued by another CA.
• Automatic Self-Signed Certificate Creation is set to On by default.
The following describes the procedures to set up a certificate by Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool.
Setting up a Certificate using Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool
To set up a certificate using Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, you can have the
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/
