Which Certificates
are available?
Both self-signed certificates and CA certificates can be used in the
print server. The following certificates can be distinguished:
Self-signed certificates have a digital signature that has been
created by the print server.
CA certificates are certificates that have been signed by a
certification authority (CA).
The authenticity of the CA certificate can be verified by means of a
so-called root certificate issued by the certification authority. The
root certificate is stored on an authentication server in the network.
Upon delivery, a self-signed certificate (the so-called default
certificate) is stored in the print server. If you set up encrypted
printing via HTTP (SSL) in the PRINTSERVER Print Monitor, the
default certificate is used; see: ’Encrypted Socket Printing with
Certificate Validation (Windows)’
Ö85. It is recommended that
you replace the default certificate by a self-signed certificate or CA
certificate as soon as possible.
