Installing a Root Certificate

Install a root certificate (root CA certificate) for verifying the reliability of the authentication server. You need to have at least a certificate issued by the certificate authority who signed the server certificate or a certificate from a higher certificate authority.

Only PEM (Base64-encoded X.509) root certificates can be imported.

You can install a root certificate using a web browser from networked computers. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.)

Open a web browser from a networked computer, and then log in to Web Image Monitor as the network administrator.

For details on how to log in, see Administrator Login Method.

Point to [Device Management], and then click [Configuration].

Click [Root Certificate] under "Security".

Click [Browse] for "Root Certificate to Import", and then select the CA certificate you obtained.

Click [Open].

Click [Import].

Check that the imported certificate's [Status] shows "Trustworthy".

If [Root Certificate Check] shows [Active], and the [Status] of the certificate shows [Untrustworthy], communication might not be possible.

Click [OK].

Log out.
