About Digital Certification
You can configure the following digital certificates for your network using Web Config:
CA-signed Certificate
You can ensure secure communications using a CA-signed certificate for each security feature. The
certificates must be signed by and obtained from a CA (Certificate Authority).
CA Certificate
A CA certificate indicates that a third party has verified the identity of a server. You need to obtain a
CA certificate for server authentication from a CA that issues it.
Self-signed Certificate
A self-signed certificate is issued and signed by the product itself. You can use the certificate for only
SSL/TLS communication, however security is unreliable and you may see a security alert in the
browser during use.

Obtaining and Importing a CA-signed Certificate
You can obtain a CA-signed certificate by creating a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) using Web
Config and submitting it to a certificate authority. The CSR created in Web Config is in PEM/DER format.
You can import one CSR created from Web Config at a time.
1. Access Web Config and select the Network Security tab.
2. Select one of the following network security options and corresponding certificates:
• SSL/TLS and select Certificate
• IPsec/IP Filtering and select Client Certificate
• IEEE802.1X and select Client Certificate
3. In the CSR section, select Generate.
4. Select the CSR setting options you want to use.
5. Click OK.
You see a completion message.
6. Select the Network Security tab and select your network security option and corresponding
certificate again.
7. In the CSR section, click the Download option that matches the format specified by your certificate
authority to download the CSR.
Caution: Do not generate another CSR or you may not be able to import a CA-signed certificate.
