HOW TO: Create and Import SSL Certificates for Canon MFPs

GENERAL:
In order to use secure connections with SSL between a uniFLOW server / RPS and a Canon MFP, it is
necessary to create an SSL certificate on the printer and import it to the server. The SSL configuration also
applies to MEAP connections. The new certificate must include either the printer’s IP address or the fully
qualified domain name. Note that the configuration slightly differs between Canon legacy devices and
imageRUNNER ADVANCE series.

DETAILS:
How to create a certificate on Canon Legacy Printers:
1. Open the printer's RUI in a browser and log in with system manager credentials when asked.
2. Open Add.Func. > System and click on Edit.
3. If Use SSL is checked under Remote UI Settings uncheck it, click on OK and restart the device.
Otherwise continue with the next step.
4. Open the printer's RUI in a browser and log in with system manager credentials when asked.
5. Open Add.Func. > Custom Settings > Network Settings > Key and Certificate Settings.
6. If any other key than the Default Key was used before, check the radio button in front of Default Key and
click on Default Key Settings to set it as the standard SSL key. Restart the device.
7. Open Add.Func. > Custom Settings > Network Settings > Key and Certificate Settings > Generate Key >
SSL
8. Enter the device IP address or the fully qualified domain name in the field Shared Name, fill out the
Certificate Settings and click on OK to create the new certificate.
9. Open Add.Func. > Custom Settings > Network Settings > Key and Certificate Settings.
10. Select the new key and click on Default Key Settings. Now this key is marked as the active SSL key.

Settings and check Use SSL.
 On a legacy printer open Add.Func. > System and click on Edit. Under Remote UI Settings activate Use
SSL.
