Option 2

If the other device is using a self-signed certificate, install a copy of the trusted certificate of the other

device on the printer.

Installing a Digital Certificate

There are three ways to install a certificate on the printer:



Create and install a Xerox

Device Certificate.

Create a Xerox

Device Certificate to allow the printer to generate a certificate, sign it, and create a

public key used in SSL encryption. Install the Xerox

Device Certificate on the printer, and install the

Generic Xerox

Trusted CA Certificate in the devices that the printer communicates with. Examples

of other devices are client Web browsers for HTTPS, or RADIUS authentication server for 802.1X.

Installing this certificate ensures that users can access the printer using CentreWare Internet

Services, and certificate warning messages do not appear.

Note:

Creating a Xerox

Device Certificate is less secure than creating a certificate signed by a

trusted CA. If you do not have a server functioning as a Certificate Authority, install a Xerox

Device

Certificate on the printer. Then install the Generic Xerox

Trusted CA Certificate on the other devices.



Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and install the CA-signed device certificate.
Create a CSR. Send the CSR to a CA or a local server functioning as a CA to sign the CSR and return

the certificate. Install the certificate on the printer. An example of a server functioning as a CA is

Windows Server 2008 running Certificate Services.



Install trusted CA and self-signed certificates.
Install the certificates of the root CA, and any intermediate CAs for your company. Install the

self-signed certificates from any other devices in your network.
