The Fiery server requires a secure connection between user computers and components of the Fiery server. HTTPS over TLS encrypts communications between the two end points. HTTPS is required for a connection to the Fiery server from WebTools. These communications are encrypted with TLS 1.2 and 1.3.

The Fiery server allows the administrator to manage the certificates used during TLS communications (X.509 certificate format encoded in Base64). The Fiery server supports RSA certificates with 4096, 3072, and 2048-bit key length.

You can manage certificates in these ways:

• Create self-signed digital certificates.
• Add a certificate and its corresponding private key for the Fiery server.
• Add, browse, view, and remove certificates from a trusted certificate authority.

After you obtain a certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority, you can upload the certificate to the Fiery server in Configure.
