Digital Certificate for SSL communication
Managing multiple certificates
The multiple certificate feature allows you to manage each certificate that you have installed using Web
Based Management. After installing certificates, you can view what certificates are installed from the
Certificate page and then view each certificate's content, delete or export the certificate. For information on
how to access the Certificate page, see Digital Certificate Installation uu page 4.
For Printer models
The Brother machine allows you to store up to three self-signed certificates or up to three certificates
issued by a CA. You can use the stored certificates for using the HTTPS/IPPS protocol or IEEE 802.1x
authentication.
For DCP and MFC models
The Brother machine allows you to store up to four self-signed certificates or up to four certificates issued
by a CA. You can use the stored certificates for using the HTTPS/IPPS protocol, IEEE 802.1x
authentication or a Signed PDF.
You can also store up to four CA certificates for using IEEE 802.1x authentication and SSL for SMTP/POP3.
We recommend you store one certificate less and keep the last free to deal with certificate expiration. For
example, if you want to store a CA certificate, store three certificates and leave one storage as a backup. In
the case of re-issuing the certificate, such as when the certificate is expired, you can import a new certificate
to the backup and then you can delete the expired certificate, to avoid configuration failure.
Note
• When you use HTTPS/IPPS, IEEE 802.1x or Signed PDF (for DCP and MFC models), you must choose
which certificate you are using.
• When you use SSL for SMTP/POP3 communications (for DCP and MFC models), you do not have to
choose the certificate. The necessary certificate will be chosen automatically.
