Creating and installing a self-signed certificate 14
How to create and install a self-signed certificate 14
a Click Create Self-Signed Certificate on the Configure Certificate page.
b Enter a Common Name and a Valid Date, then click Submit.
Note
• The length of the Common Name is less than 64 bytes. Enter an identifier such as an IP address, node
name or domain name to use when accessing this printer through SSL/TLS communication. The node
name is displayed by default.
• A warning will pop-up if you enter a different name in the URL than the Common Name that was used for
the self-signed certificate.
c Now the self-signed certificate is created successfully. Check the box on the left of each function you
want to disable, and then click OK.
Note
• We recommend disabling the Telnet, FTP, TFTP protocols and the network management with older
versions of BRAdmin

for secure communication. If you enable them, the user authentication is not
secure.
• A check box only appears for an individual protocol or the older BRAdmin utility if they are already enabled.

BRAdmin Professional older than Ver. 2.80, Web BRAdmin older than Ver. 1.40, BRAdmin Light for Macintosh
®
older than Ver. 1.10.
d Restart the printer to activate the configuration.
e Now the self-signed certificate is saved in your printer memory. To use SSL/TLS communication, the
self-signed certificate also needs to be installed on your computer. Proceed to the next section.
