Certificate Options
Choose from the options listed.
Update Pre-Installed Certificate. Use this option to update the preinstalled,
self-signed certificate. When updated, the preinstalled certificate is
overwritten.You may update the following item:
● Certificate Validity Period
With self-signed certificates, the browser will identify the certificate as self-signed
for each new Web session and may cause a security alert message. This
message can be bypassed if the user adds it to their browser’s certificate store
or disables browser alerts (not recommended).
Self-signed certificates are not necessarily secure because the certificate owner
is merely confirming his own identity instead of verification by a trusted third party.
Certificates from a trusted third party are considered more secure.
Create Certificate Request. Using this option, you are prompted for specific
device and organizational information in the following screen:
● Certificate Information
This option may be used, for example, when a wireless authentication protocol
requires that a Jetdirect certificate issued by a trusted third party or Certificate
Authority be installed.
Install Certificate. This option is displayed only if there is a Jetdirect certificate
request (to a trusted third party) pending. When received, the certificate is installed
using this option. Once installed, this certificate overwrites the preinstalled
certificate.
Using this option, you are prompted for information in the following screen:
● Install Certificate
The certificate to be installed must be associated with a previous certificate
request generated by the embedded Web server.
