Lexmark Confidential until announced Securing printers 47 Managing certificates Certificates are used when you want the printer to establish an SSL/TLS, IPsec, or 802.1x connection and to identify other devices on the network securely. Printers can also use these certificates for LDAP over SSL authentication and address book lookups. Certificate Authorities (CA) are trusted locations established on the network that are required in secure environments. Otherwise, the default printer certificate is used to identify devices on the network. Configuring printer certificate defaults 1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Certificate Management. 2 From the Device Certificates section, click Configure Certificate Defaults. 3 Configure the settings. • Friendly Name-Type a unique name for the certificate. • Common Name-Type the name for the printer.
