Installation Overview
To encrypt HTTP communications, configure the machine and your computer as follows:
Configuration on the Machine
Configure a certificate on the machine. No certificate is registered on the machine by factory
default. Configure certificates for an SSL server as needed.
• Configuring certificates by Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool
The following two methods are available depending on types of certificates.
- Create a self-signed certificate on the machine, and then enable HTTPS.
- Enable HTTPS, and then import a certificate issued by another CA to the machine.
Configuration on the Computer
To encrypt communications between a web browser and the machine, enter an address
beginning with "https" instead of "http" into the address box of the web browser.
Step1 Configuration on the Machine
Configure a certificate on the machine. No certificate is registered to the machine by factory
default. Configure certificates for an SSL server as needed.
The following describes the procedures to set up a certificate by Dell Printer Configuration
Web Tool.
Setting up a Certificate using Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool
To set up a certificate using Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, you can have the machine
create a self-signed certificate for SSL server or can import any registered certificate (issued
by another CA) to the machine.
Note
•
When performing SSL communications using a self-signed certificate created on the machine, or a
certificate with which the character code is encoded with UTF-8, you will not be able to connect with
SSL if Internet Explorer is used with Mac OS X v10.2 or later.
This is because the operating system cannot recognize the character code (UTF-8) of the certificate.
Use Netscape 7 in the above-mentioned OS environments.
•
You cannot import a certificate that has been already registered in [Local Device] or [Others]. Delete
the registered certificate before importing.
