Configuring the Key and Certificate for TLS
You can encrypt communication between the machine and a Web browser on the computer by using Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS is a mechanism for encrypting data sent or received over the network. TLS must be enabled when the Remote UI is used for specifying settings such as SNMPv3. To use TLS encrypted communication for the Remote UI, you need to specify a "key and certificate" (server certificate) you want to use before enabling TLS. Generate or install the key and certificate for TLS before enabling TLS (Management Functions).

Enabling TLS for e-mailingIf the SMTP server and the POP3 server support TLS, you can enable TLS for communication with these servers (Configuring E-Mail Communication Settings).
