name is displayed by default.
• A warning will pop-up if you use the IPPS or HTTPS protocol and enter a different name in the URL than
the Common Name that was used for the self-signed certificate.
c You can choose the Public Key Algorithm and Digest Algorithm settings from the pull-down list. The
default settings are RSA(2048bit) for Public Key Algorithm and SHA256 for Digest Algorithm.
d Click Submit.
e The self-signed certificate is created and saved in your machine's memory successfully.
To use SSL/TLS communication, the self-signed certificate also needs to be installed on your computer.
