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.

Network Protocol

This section addresses Network Protocol, name service changes 
and the changes that occur when security is invoked.

The table below addresses the list of Network Protocols that are 
used by the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server software or Xerox client 
operations.
