Install Certificate Help
This page enables you to install a certificate or a chain of certificates.
A root certificate is needed to validate the authentication server's certificate when using 802.1X EAP authentication methods TLS or PEAP. If a root certificate is not installed, the printer will accept any certificate from any authentication server.
A device certificate validates the identity of the printer to clients and network servers and enables encrypted communication. If you do not install a device certificate signed by a certificate authority (CA), a default self-signed device certificate is automatically established on the printer when it is needed. A CA signed device certificate is needed to log into the network when using 802.1X EAP authentication with TLS.
To add a certificate, perform one of the following tasks (do not do both):
- Enter the path to the certificate in the Path to certificate field, or click Browse... to locate the certificate on your computer. Device certificate file contents must be in base-64 encoded (PEM), binary encoded (DER), PKCS7 or PKCS12 format.
OR
- Copy the lines of data in the certificate starting with ---BEGIN CERTIFICATE--- and ending with ---END CERTIFICATE, and paste the information into the Certificate data field.
