Overview
Your device includes a self-signed HTTPS certificate
The device generates the certificate automatically during device installation
The certificate is used to encrypt communications between your computer and the Xerox device.
Note:
The Embedded Web Server page for your Xerox device can display an error message that the security certificate is not trusted
This configuration does not lessen the security of the communications between your computer and the Xerox device.
To eliminate the connection warning in your Web browser, you can replace the self-signed certificate with a signed certificate from a Certificate Authority
For information on obtaining a certificate from a Certificate Authority, contact your Internet Service Provider.
