Create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)

A Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is a request sent to a Certificate Authority (CA) to authenticate the
credentials contained within the certificate.

We recommend installing a Root Certificate from the CA on your computer before creating the CSR.

1. Start your web browser.
2. Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the

machine's IP address).
For example:
https://192.168.1.2

If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such
as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.
-

For example:
https://SharedPrinter

If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.
-

For example:
https://brnxxxxxxxxxxxx

The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.

3. If required, type the password in the

Login

Login

.

The default password to manage this machine’s settings is located on the back of the machine and
marked "

Pwd

Organization

Your company details are required so that a CA can confirm your identity and verify it to the outside
world.

The length of the

Common Name

must be less than 64 bytes. Enter an identifier, such as an IP

address, node name, or domain name to use when accessing this machine through SSL/TLS
communication. The node name is displayed by default. The

Common Name

is required.

A warning will appear if you type a different name in the URL than the Common Name that was used for
the certificate.

The length of the

Organization

, the

Organization Unit

, the

City/Locality

State/Province

The

Country/Region
