The Brother machine supports the following certificates.
 Self-signed certificate
This print server issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS
communication without having a certificate from a CA. (See Creating a self-signed certificate uu page 16.)
 Certificate from a CA
There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a CA or if you want to use
a certificate from an external trusted CA:
• When using a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from this print server. (See Creating a Certificate
Signing Request (CSR) uu page 17.)
• When importing a certificate and a private key. (See Import and export the certificate and private key
uu page 20.)
 CA certificate
If you use a CA certificate that identifies the CA (Certificate Authority) itself and owns its private key, you
must import a CA certificate from the CA, prior to the configuration. (See Import and export a CA certificate
uu
page 21.)
