    Configuring IEEE 802.1X Authentication
    The machine can connect to  an  802.1X network as a client  device. A typical 802.1X network consists of a RADIUS server  (authentication
    server), LAN switch  (authenticator), and  client  devices with authentication software  (supplicants). If  a device tries to  connect to  the
    802.1X network, the  device must go through user  authentication in order to  prove that  the  connection is  made  by an  authorized  u ser.
    Authentication information  is  sent to  and  checked  by a RADIUS server, which permits or rejects  communication to  the  network depending
    on  the  authentication result. If  authentication fails,  a LAN switch  (or an  access point) blocks access from the  outside of the  network.
    Select the  authentication method from the  options below. If  necessary, install or register  a key  pair  or CA certificate before  configuring
    IEEE  802.1X authentication (Using  CA- issued Key  Pairs and  Digital Certificates ).
    TLS
    The machine and  the  authentication server  authenticate each other by mutually verifying their  certificates. A key  pair  issued  b y a
    certification  authority  (CA) is  required for  the  client  authentication (when authenticating the  machine). For the  server  authentication,
    a CA certificate installed via  the  Remote  UI can be used in addition to  a CA certificate preinstalled in the  machine. The TLS  m ethod
    cannot  be used with TTLS  or PEAP at the  same time.
    TTLS
    This authentication method uses a user  name and  password for  the  client  authentication and  a CA certificate for  the  server
    authentication.  MSCHAPv2 or PAP can be selected as the  internal protocol. TTLS  can be used with PEAP at the  same time. Enable S SL
    for  the  Remote  UI before configuring this authentication method (
    Enabling  SSL Encrypted Communication for the Remote  UI ).
    PEAP
    The required settings are  almost the  same as those of TTLS. MS-CHAPv2 is  used as the  internal protocol. Enable SSL  for  the  Remo te
    UI before configuring this authentication method (Enabling  SSL Encrypted Communication for the Remote  UI ).
    Start  the Remote UI  and  log  on in System Manager Mode.  Starting Remote UI
    Click [Settings/Registration].

    Configuring Settings for Key Pairs and Digital Certificates
    In order to  encrypt  communication with a remote device, an  encryption key  must be sent and  received over an  unsecured network
    beforehand. This problem is  solved by public -key  cryptography. Public -key  cryptography ensures  secure communication by protecting
    important  and  valuable information  from attacks, such as sniffing,  spoofing, and  tampering of data as it flows over a network.
    Key  Pair
    A key  pair  consists of a public  key  and  a secret key, both  of which are  required for  encrypting  or decrypting data.
    Because data that  has been encrypted  with one of the  key  pair  cannot  be returned  to  its original  data form without
    the  other,  public -key  cryptography ensures  secure communication of data over the  network. Up to  five key  pairs can
    be registered (
    Using  CA- issued Key  Pairs and  Digital Certificates). For SSL  encrypted  communication,  a key
    pair  can be generated  for  the  machine (Generating Key  Pairs ).
    CA Certificate
    Digital certificates  including CA certificates  are  similar to  other forms of identification, such as driver's licenses. A
    digital certificate contains a digital signature, which enables the  machine to  detect any spoofing  or tampering of data.
    It is  extremely difficult  for  third parties to  abuse digital certificates. A digital certificate that  contains a public  key  of a
    certification  authority  (CA) is  referred to  as a CA certificate.  CA certificates  are  used for  verifying the  device the
    machine is  communicating with for  features such as printing with Google  Cloud Print  or IEEE  802.1X authentication.
    Up to  10 CA certificates  can be registered, including the  five certificates  that  are  preinstalled in the  machine (
    Using
    CA- issued Key  Pairs and  Digital Certificates ).
    Key  and Certificate  Requirements
    The certificate contained in a key  pair  generated  with the  machine conforms  to  X.509v3.  If  you install a key  pair  or a CA certificate from
    a computer, make sure  that  they meet  the  following  requirements:
    Format Key pair: PKCS#12
    CA certificate:  X.509v1 or X.509v3,  DER  (encoded binary)
    File extension Key pair: ".p12"  or ".pfx"
    CA certificate:  ".cer"
    Public  key  algorithm 
    (and  key  length) RSA (512 bits,  1024  bits,  2048  bits,  or 4096  bits)
    Certificate signature  algorithm SHA1-RSA, SHA256-RSA, SHA384-RSA , SHA512-RSA , MD5 -RSA, or MD2 -RSA
    Certificate thumbprint algorithm SHA1
     Requirements for  the certificate contained in a key pair  are pursuant  to  CA  certificates.
     SHA384 -RSA and  SHA512 -RSA are available only  when the RSA key length is 1024 bits or  more.
    NOTE
    The machine does not  support use of a certificate revocation  list  (CRL).

    Generating Key Pairs
    A key  pair  can be generated  with the  machine when it is  required for  encrypted  communication via  Secure Sockets Layer  (SSL). You  can
    use SSL  when accessing the  machine via  the  Remote  UI. Up to  five key  pairs can be registered to  the  machine.
    Start  the Remote UI  and  log  on in System Manager Mode.  Starting Remote UI
    Click [Settings/Registration].
    Click [Security  Settings]  [Key and  Certificate Settings].
    Click [Generate Key...].
    NOTE:
    Deleting  a registered  key pairClick [Delete] on  the  right of the  key  pair  you want to  delete  
    click [OK].
    A key  pair  cannot  be deleted  if  it is  currently used for  some  purpose,  such as when "SSL" or "IEEE  802.1X", is  displayed under
    [Key Usage]. In this case, disable the  function or replace  the  key  pair  before deleting  it.
    Specify  settings  for the key and  certificate.

    Select the  signature  algorithm from the  drop-down list.
    [Key  Algorithm]
    RSA is  used for  generating  a key  pair. Select the  key  length from the  drop-down list. The larger  the  number for  the  key
    length, the  slower  the  communication.  However, the  security is  tighter.
    NOTE:

    Enter the  date to  which the  certificate is  valid between  01/01/2000 and  31/12/2037. A date earlier than [Validity  Start Date
    (YYYY/MM/DD)] cannot  be set.
    [Country/Region]
    Click the  [Select Country/Region]  radio button and  select the  country/region from the  drop-down list. You  can also  click the
    [Enter Internet  Country Code] radio button and  enter a country code,  such as "US"  for  the  United  States.

    Enter up  to  48 alphanumeric  characters  for  the  common  name of the  certificate as necessary. "Common Name" is  often
    abbreviated as "CN."
    Click [OK].
    A key  pair  may  take approximately  10 to  15 minutes  to  generate.
    After a key  pair  is  generated, it is  automatically registered to  the  machine.

    Using CA-issued Key Pairs and Digital Certificates
    Key pairs and  digital certificates  can be obtained from a certification  authority  (CA) for  use with the  machine. You  can store  and  then
    register  these files  by using the  Remote  UI. Make  sure  that  the  key  pair  and  the  certificate satisfy  the  requirements of the  machine
    (
    Key  and  Certificate Requirements ). Up to  five key  pairs and  10 CA certificates  (including  the  five preinstalled certificates)  can be
    registered.

    certificates).
    Click [Register Key  and  Certificate]  or [Register CA Certificate].
    NOTE:
    Deleting  a registered  key pair or CA certificate
    Click [Delete] on  the  right of the  key  pair  or CA certificate you want to  delete  
     click [OK]. You  cannot  delete  the  preinstalled
    CA certificates.
    A key  pair  cannot  be deleted  if  it is  currently used for  some  purpose,  such as when "[SSL]" or "[IEEE  802.1X]" is  displayed
    under [Key Usage]. In this case, disable the  function or replace  the  key  pair  before deleting  it. The preinstalled CA certifica te
