Prepare for Installation
Advance Planning Considerations
This section contains information and issues that should be considered before you attempt to install and use
the SMARTsend application. Please allow adequate lead time to address these issues.

Security
A security certificate can be installed on the SMARTsend computer if secure password entry or secure data
transfer is required within the SMARTsend operating environment. Security certificates are used to enable
encryption of sensitive information. Security certificates can be obtained within the network by using
software bundled with the network operating system or by using an open-source product. Externally, they
can be obtained through the services of a third party for a fee. Which option to choose, if any, depends on
factors such as these:

Security policies and requirements that govern the use of network and physical resources within your
organization must be reviewed in advance of your SMARTsend installation. Please consider how your
security policies apply to SMARTsend and configure your computer, clients, and scanning devices
accordingly. Refer to Chapter 9, SMARTsend Security, for additional security information.

The latest Xerox multifunction devices, such as WorkCentre Pro 232/238/245/255/265/275 or newer
devies, offer additional security capabilities such as authentication and more secure communication
protocols such as SNMP v3 and HTTPs. These enhanced capabilities can further enhance end-to-end
security when devices are configured for use with SMARTsend.

SMARTsend makes the use of security certificates optional to accommodate installations where other
security measures are employed or where security is not a concern. When a security certificate is
installed on the SMARTsend computer, it will provide secure password entry when users access
SMARTsend. Furthermore, if the Require Secure Channel (SSL) option and the security certificate are
properly configured on the SMARTsend computer, all data transfer between SMARTsend users and
devices will be encrypted. See To configure the SMARTsend computer to require HTTPS/SSL: on page
9-3 for additional information.

If the use of SMARTsend will be limited to the local network or intranet, the most cost-effective
approach may be to use the SelfSSL option, or set up a Certificate Authority in-house. A local
Certificate Authority can be implemented by using Microsoft Certificate Services, which is included on
each Microsoft operating system CD. The SelfSSL option is available in the Microsoft Internet
Information Services (IIS) Resource Kit. Go to

If SMARTsend will be available on the Internet, using a third party for certificate services may be
preferable. See Obtain and Install a Security Certificate on page 2-16 for more information.

The process of obtaining a third party security certificate may take several days. If secure
password entry is required within SMARTsend, you should plan and initiate this activity in advance of your
SMARTsend installation to avoid the need to reconfigure the computer and SMARTsend at a later time.
