  • If you configure your machine using EAP-TLS authentication, you must install the client certificate issued by a CA before you start configuration. Contact your network administrator about the client certificate. If you have installed more than one certificate, we recommend writing down the certificate name you want to use.
  • Before you verify the server certificate, you must import the CA certificate issued by the CA that signed the server certificate. Contact your network administrator or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to confirm whether a CA certificate import is necessary.

  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

  3. If required, type the password in the Login field, and then click Login.

    • If you are using EAP-TLS authentication, you must select the client certificate installed (shown with certificate name) for verification from the Client Certificate drop-down list.
    • If you select EAP-FAST, PEAP, EAP-TTLS, or EAP-TLS authentication, select the verification method from the Server Certificate Verification drop-down list. Verify the server certificate using the CA certificate, imported to the machine in advance, issued by the CA that signed the server certificate.
    Select one of the following verification methods from the Server Certificate Verification drop-down list:
    Option
    Description
    No Verification
    The server certificate can always be trusted. The verification is not performed.
    CA Cert.
    The verification method to check the CA reliability of the server certificate, using the CA certificate issued by the CA that signed the server certificate.
    CA Cert. + ServerID
    The verification method to check the common name *1 value of the server certificate, in addition to the CA reliability of the server certificate.
  7. When finished with configuration, click Submit.
*1
The common name verification compares the common name of the server certificate to the character string configured for the Server ID. Before you use this method, contact your system administrator about the server certificate's common name and then configure Server ID.
