Generating a Key and Certificate

8W0J-07S

Generate the key and certificate required for TLS-encrypted communication on the machine. A self-signed certificate is

used for the self-generated key.

For the algorithm of the keys and certificates that can be generated with this machine, see the specifications of the

self-generated key and self-signed certificate. Keys and Certificates(P. 38)

Generate a key and certificate using Remote UI from a computer. You cannot use the control panel to generate a key

and certificate.

Administrator privileges are required.
