Machine Digital Certificate Management & Trusted Certificate Authorities
Xerox Phaser 3635 System Administration Guide 149
• Network Accounting configuration.
To enable SSL on a machine, it needs to have its own digital certificate. When clients make
a request to the device, it exports the certificate to provide an encrypted channel.
There are 2 options available to obtain a server certificate for the machine:
• Have the machine create a Self Signed Certificate
• Create a request to have a Certificate Authority sign a certificate that can be
uploaded to the machine.
A self-signed certificate means that the machine signs its own certificate as trusted and
creates the public key for the certificate to be used in SSL encryption.
A certificate from a Certificate Authority or a server functioning as a Certificate Authority
(for example Windows 2000 running Certificate Services) can be uploaded to the machine.
NOTE: A separate request is required for each Xerox machine.
Information Checklist
Ensure that the machine is configured with the following items:
1. An IP Address or Host Name must be configured on the machine.

NOTE: This is used to set the start time for self signed certificates.
