Administrator's Guide

• Create a request to have a certificate authority (CA), or a server functioning as a
certificate authority sign a certificate and then upload the certificate to the printer.
An example of a server functioning as a CA is Windows Server running Certificate
Services.
• Install a trusted root certificate created by a CA.
Note
Installing a self-signed certificate is less secure than installing a certificate signed by a
trusted CA. However, if you do not have a server functioning as a certificate authority
this is your only option.

8. Next to Days of Validity, type the number of days (1-9999) until the certificate
expires.
9. Click Apply.
