Install and configure the TLS certificates

To ensure secure communication between the MFP and external services, it is advised to enable TLS. Before performing any Device Registration Service (DRS) actions, if TLS is being configured, it is recommended that you verify the following TLS certificate configuration on the Canon MFP.

If you are not using a self-signed certificate (generated by the device), but instead using a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority (CA), you must import the CA certificate into the trusted CA store of the Windows system where DRS is installed.

After installing DRS, complete the following steps.
  1. Verify that the device certificate is installed and the TLS certificate is specified.
    1. Open the device web page (which allows users to remotely monitor and change the network configuration via web browsers as long as the target MFP is networked and has an IP address) and go to Settings/Registration > Preferences > Network Settings > TLS Settings.
    2. If the TLS Settings key and certificate option is not imported, browse and select it from your local machine. For further details, see Changing the TLS settings.
      If the client uses AutoStore, then also make sure to create a self-signed certificate in AutoStore under Unified Client > Unified Client Settings > Preferences tab > Server options > Use SSL (checked). For more details, see Preferences tab.
  2. Restart device.
