Transport Layer Security (TLS)

This menu is used to assign specific purposes (Illus. below) for certificates that have been loaded, as described above.

MenuFunction
Web server certificate• Certificate for access to the web console, to avoid certificate errors in the browser (optional); this can be purchased from a trusted root certifica­tion authority or can be generated from a certificate server of your own (in the second case, the computer where the browser is running must have a certificate installed on it, with which the web server certificate can be checked, e.g. its root certificate).
• certificate name must match ThinPrint Hub’s hostname, FQDN or IPv4 address
• Afterwards, perform a system reboot.
Certificate for printing• a certificate that the ThinPrint Client sends to the ThinPrint Engine with encrypted printing; it must be appropriate for server authentication and must contain a key
• certificate name is arbitrary
• Afterwards, perform a system reboot.
