Securing HTTP Communication with Encryption
Installation Overview
Use the following steps to secure HTTP communication with encryption.
Configuration of the Machine
Use CentreWare Internet Services to register a certificate into the machine. By
factory default, no certificate is registered in the machine. If necessary, register an
SSL server certificate.
There are the following two methods to register a certificate in the machine:
– Creating a self-signed certificate for the machine, and then enabling HTTPS
– Enabling HTTPS, and then importing an existing certificate into the machine
For the detailed settings, refer to the following section.
Configuration of a Computer
In the [Address] box of a web browser, specify an address beginning with "https",
rather than "http", in one of the following formats.
– IP address formats:
(For IPv4) https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/
(For IPv6) https://[xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx]/
NOTE: The IPv6 format is supported on Windows Vista only. An IPv6 address
needs to be enclosed in square brackets.
– Internet address format:
https://myhost.example.com/
To encrypt data that uses IPP, specify an address beginning with "https", rather than
"http", when adding the machine using [Add Printer]. For more details, refer to the
manual in the CD-ROM of the Driver CD Kit.
For the SOAP and WebDAV ports, no setting is required.
Configuration of the Machine
The following describes how to create a machine’s self-signed certificate (for SSL
server) and then enable SSL/TLS communication.
NOTE: For information on how to import an existing certificate, refer to the
CentreWare Internet Services online help.
NOTE: A certificate cannot be imported into the machine if the same certificate has
already been registered in either [Local Device] or [Others]. In that case, delete the
existing certificate, and then import the new certificate.
