Changing the TLS settings

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.

Changing the TLS settings is performed:

  • From the web-base device administration (using remote UI portal or Service Management Service): Allows users to remotely monitor and change the network configuration using web browsers as long as the target MFP is networked and has an IP address.
  • From the device. For more information, see Canon documentation.

Changing the TLS settings from the web

Follow these steps to open from the web-base device administration:

  1. Open a web browser and enter http://<MFP IP Address> in the Address field. The device web page opens.
  2. Provide administrator user name and password, if prompted, for login.
  3. Go to Settings/Registration > Preferences > Network Settings > TLS Settings > Settings That Use TLS and change the settings.
  4. Go to Settings/Registration > Preferences > Network Settings > TLS Settings > Specify Allowed Versions and change the settings.
  5. Go to Settings/Registration > Preferences > Network Settings > TLS Settings > Algorithm Settings and change the settings.
  6. Go to Settings/Registration > Preferences > Network Settings > TLS Settings > Key and Certificate and change the settings.
  7. Click OK.

FIPS

In addition, Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are compatible. FIPS are publicly announced standards developed by the United States federal government for use in computer systems by non-military government agencies and government contractors.

Whenever you are doing an AutoStore server upgrade from AutoStore 7, if you have already changed the FIPS compliance setting on our server, then in order to retain your configuration from the previous version it is required that you re-enter the passwords for LDAP, Send to Email and SharePoint, and then re-save this configuration for it to take effect.
