Installing a Certificate File

It is necessary to install a key pair from a computer in order to use encrypted SSL communication for IPP printing, E-mail and I-faxes, the Remote UI, delivering device information, and Advanced Space used as a Web Dav server.
Apart from the X.509 (DER) format server certificate preinstalled in the machine, you can also install a CA certificate file from your computer to use for encrypted SSL communication.
You can install a key pair and server certificate file created on a computer, a CA certificate, or a user signature certificate using the Remote UI.
Installed key pairs and CA certificates can be used for setting IPSec. For more information on IPSec, see "IPSec Settings" and "IEEE802.1X Authentication Settings."

Installing/Checking/Erasing a User Signature Certificate and Key Pair
This function installs/checks/erases a user certificate and key pair contained in a digital signature file.
IMPORTANT
This function is available only if the Universal Send Digital User Signature Kit is activated and you log in to the machine using the SSO-H login service.
NOTE
You can use a digital signature file with the following properties:
File format: PKCS#12
File extension: '.pfx' or '.p12'
You can use a user certificate with the following properties:
Format: X.509 version 3
Key length: 1024 bits/2048 bits
Encryption algorithm: RSA
1.
Enter the required data.
IMPORTANT
If there is more than a 30 minute difference between the current time set in the computer registered by the Active Directory and the time set in the computer that you use for login, an error occurs when you log in using SSO-H. To be able to log in using SSO-H, it is necessary to match the current time on both the computers.
NOTE
You must use the user login name (pre-Windows 2000) registered in Active Directory in order to then enter a user name for SSO-H authentication.
You can use only alphanumeric characters, . (period), - (hyphen), or _ (underscore) for a user name for SSO-H authentication. You can log in only if you use valid characters.
You can select up to four trusted domain names in addition to the domain name the machine belongs to for the DNS Domain Name.
Even if you install multiple login services, they cannot be used simultaneously. Only the login screen for the set login service is displayed.
