For features that use these protocols, perform the tasks listed under one of the following options:
To install certificates, option 1:
•
Install a device certificate on the printer.
• Install a copy of the CA certificate that was used to sign the device certificate of the printer on the
other device.
• Install a copy of the CA certificate that was used to sign the certificate of the other device on the
printer.
To install certificates, 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.
Creating and Installing a Xerox ® Device Certificate
If you do not have a server functioning as a certificate authority, install a Xerox ® Device Certificate on
the printer. When you create a Xerox ® Device Certificate the printer generates a certificate, signs it, and
creates a public key used in SSL encryption. After you install a Xerox ® Device Certificate on the printer,
install the Generic Xerox ® Trusted CA Certificate in any device that communicates with the printer.
Examples of other devices include client Web browsers for HTTPS or a RADIUS authentication server for
802.1X. Installing the Generic Xerox ® Trusted CA 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 certificate authority.
