Digital Certificates
SSL/TLS cannot be enabled unless a digital certificate has been
installed on the system, using the Add Certificate button. Installing
a digital certificate can only be done by someone with
administrator privileges.
The administrator selects SSL/TLS from the [Setup] Menu and
clicks on the [Add Certificate] button. This invokes the Add
Certificate wizard. There are two options regarding digital
certificates. One option is “Self-signed certificate”. This is selected
when no third party Certificate Authority is being used.
Another option is “Signed Certificate from a Certificate Authority”.
In this case, the administrator needs to supply the fully qualified
domain name, IP address, organization and country of the
Certificate Authority.
If the choice is to use a Certificate Authority, all Certificate
information needs to be held in a file and sent to the Certificate
Authority. The Authority returns a valid certificate that must be
installed on the system.
NOTE: A self-signed certificate is not as secure as a certificate
signed by a Certificate Authority. A self-signed certificate is the
most convenient way to begin using SSL/TLS and does not
require the use of a server functioning as a Certificate Authority or
a third party Certificate Authority.
Once the Digital Certificate has been installed, the Enable SSL/
TLS selection becomes available among the [Setup] options. At
that time the administrator can select the mode of operation,
Normal or Secure, from a drop-down menu.
