Generate a certificate request

Introduction

To ensure a fully trusted authentication via HTTPS, you can request and import a certificate delivered by a Certification Authority (CA-signed certificate).

To generate a certificate request follow the procedure below.

NOTE

For more details on these settings please consult the Océ PlotWave-ColorWave Systems Security manual.

Procedure

  1. Open the [Security] - [HTTPS] tab.
  2. Click on [Generate a certificate request]. A window opens.
  3. Make the required settings: fill in the fully qualified domain name or the IP address and the additional information.
  4. Click [Ok] to save.

    The web server generates a certificate request. The content of the request is displayed (plain text).

    Example (fake request):

    -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
