Security features How to export the self-signed certificate, the certificate issued by a CA, and the private key 7 a Click Export shown with Certificate List on the Configure Certificate page. b Enter the password if you want to encrypt the file. Note If a blank password is used, the output is not encrypted. c Enter the password again for confirmation, and then click Submit. d Specify the location where you want to save the file. e Now the certificate and private key are exported to your computer. Note You can import the file that you exported. 7 Managing multiple certificates 7 This multiple certificate feature allows you to manage each certificate that you have installed using Web Based Management. After installing certificates, you can view what certificates are installed from the Configure Certificate page and then view each certificate's content, delete or export the certificate. For information on how to access the Configure Certificate page, see Configure certificate using Web Based Management on page 61. The Brother machine allows you to store up to three self-signed certificates or up to four certificates issued by a CA. You can use the stored certificates for using the HTTP/IPPS protocol or IEEE 802.1x authentication. You can also store up to four CA certificates for using IEEE 802.1x authentication and SSL for SMTP/POP3. We recommend you store one certificate less and keep the last free to deal with certificate expiration. For example, if you want to store a CA certificate, store three certificates and leave one storage as a backup. In the case of re-issuing the certificate, such as when the certificate is expired, you can import a new certificate to the backup and then you can delete the expired certificate, to avoid configuration failure. Note When you use HTTP/IPPS protocol or IEEE 802.1x, you must choose which certificate you are using. 69

Managing multiple certificates
7
This multiple certificate feature allows you to manage each certificate that you have installed using Web
Based Management. After installing certificates, you can view what certificates are installed from the
Configure Certificate
page and then view each certificate's content, delete or export the certificate. For
information on how to access the
Configure Certificate
page, see
Configure certificate using Web Based
Management
on page 61. The Brother machine allows you to store up to three self-signed certificates or up
to four certificates issued by a CA. You can use the stored certificates for using the HTTP/IPPS protocol or
IEEE 802.1x authentication.
You can also store up to four CA certificates for using IEEE 802.1x authentication and SSL for SMTP/POP3.
We recommend you store one certificate less and keep the last free to deal with certificate expiration. For
example, if you want to store a CA certificate, store three certificates and leave one storage as a backup. In
the case of re-issuing the certificate, such as when the certificate is expired, you can import a new certificate
to the backup and then you can delete the expired certificate, to avoid configuration failure.
Note
When you use HTTP/IPPS protocol or IEEE 802.1x, you must choose which certificate you are using.
