| • | Pre-installed certificate Your machine has a pre-installed certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication without creating or installing a certificate. | ||||
| • | Self-signed certificate This scan server issues its own certificate. Using this certificate, you can easily use the SSL/TLS communication without having a certificate from a CA. (See Creating and installing a certificate.) | ||||
| • | Certificate from a CA There are two methods for installing a certificate from a CA. If you already have a CA or if you want to use a certificate from an external trusted CA:
| ||||
| • | CA certificate If you use a CA certificate that identifies the CA (Certificate Authority) itself and owns its private key, you must import a CA certificate from the CA, prior to the configuration. (See Import and export a CA certificate.) |
Note| • | If you are going to use SSL/TLS communication, we recommend that you contact your system administrator first. |
| • | When you reset the scan server back to its default factory settings, the certificate and the private key that are installed will be deleted. If you want to keep the same certificate and the private key after resetting the scan server, export them before resetting and re-install them. (See How to export the self-signed certificate, the certificate issued by a CA, and the private key.) |
