z

Configuration on the Machine
Two methods are available to configure certificates by CentreWare Internet Services:
creating a self-certificate (for SSL server), and importing a created certificate on the
machine.
This section describes how to create a self-certificate (for SSL server).
Important • When performing SSL communication using a self-certificate created on the
machine, or a certificate with which the character code is indicated by UTF-8, the
following phenomena occur.
• If Internet Explorer is used with Windows 98E 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 how to import created certificates, refer to the CentreWare Internet Services online
help.
Important • When importing a certificate, if the same certificate has been already registered in [Local
Device] or [Others], the certificate cannot be imported. Delete the registered certificate
before importing.
For information on how to use CentreWare Internet Services, refer to "Using CentreWare Internet
Services" (P.63).
