Installing a Certificate File

You can use the Remote UI to install the key pair, user certificate, and certificate revocation list required for user signatures in the machine.
You can also install the key pair file and certificate file used for the functions below, to the machine from the Remote UI. To use the files installed as a key pair and certificate, it is necessary to register them from the control panel of the machine or the Remote UI.
Encrypted SSL Communication
A key pair and server certificate are required to use encrypted SSL communication for IPP printing, e-mail and I-faxes, the Remote UI, and delivering device information. (See "Registering a Key Pair File and Server Certificate File Installed from a Computer.")
Install the key pair file and server certificate file using the Remote UI. The installed key pair file and server certificate file can be used as a key pair and server certificate by registering them from the control panel of the machine.
IEEE802.1X Authentication
A CA certificate, key pair, and client certificate are required.(See "IEEE802.1X Authentication Settings.")
CA certificate
Install the CA certificate file using the Remote UI. The installed CA certificate file can be used as a CA certificate by registering it from the control panel of the machine. (See "Registering/Editing a CA Certificate File.")
Key pair and client certificate
Install the key pair file and client certificate file. The installed key pair file and client certificate file can be used as a key pair and client certificate by registering them from the control panel of the machine.
IPSec
A CA certificate, key pair, and client certificate are required. (See "IPSec Settings.")
CA certificate
Install the CA certificate file using the Remote UI. The installed CA certificate file can be used as a CA certificate by registering it from the control panel of the machine. (See "Registering/Editing a CA Certificate File.")
Key pair and certificate
Install the key pair file and certificate file. The installed key pair file and certificate file can be used as a key pair and certificate by registering them from the control panel of the machine.
NOTE
For more information on registering a key pair and server certificate file, see "Registering a Key Pair File and Server Certificate File Installed from a Computer."
For more information on generating a key pair and server certificate file, see "Generating a Key Pair and Server Certificate."
To install a key pair and server certificate, it is necessary to log in as an administrator.

Click [Key and Certificate Settings] → [Register Key and Certificate] → [Install...].
3.
Click [Browse].
4.
In the dialog box that appears, select the key pair file and certificate file to install → click [Open...].
The maximum number of characters that you can enter for the file name in [File Path] is eight, excluding the file extension ".pfx" or ".p12". Specify the name of the file to install so that it will not exceed eight characters.
5.
Click [Start Installation].
NOTE
A preinstalled key pair and server certificate are registered in the machine. You can also perform encrypted SSL communication using the preinstalled key pair and server certificate. You can also use a key pair and server certificate generated and registered on the control panel of the machine for encrypted SSL communication.
