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 for IPSec (Pre-Shared Key Method), IEEE 802.1X authentication (TTLS/PEAP), or 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).

Using the operation panelYou can also enable or disable TLS encrypted communication from <Menu> in the Home screen. <Remote UI> Starting the Remote UI with TLSIf you try to start the Remote UI when TLS is enabled, a security alert may be displayed regarding the security certificate. In this case, check that the correct URL is entered in the address field, and then proceed to display the Remote UI screen. Starting Remote UI Using TLS to encrypt e-mail/I-Fax communicationIf the SMTP server and the POP3 server support TLS, you can enable TLS for communication with these servers (Configuring E-Mail/I-Fax Communication Settings). For more information about the SMTP server and the POP3 server, contact your Internet service provider or Network Administrator. |
