Enabling Transport Layer Security encryption for InfoPrint Manager clients for AIX

Normally, there is no need to configure anything on the client side if you use a server certificate from a globally known third-party CA.

If you are using a custom CA certificate, or if you use Mutual Authentication, you must configure the InfoPrint Manager clients to be able to communicate with the server. There are two places where the client configuration file can reside:

• The user configuration directory:

  For AIX/ Linux/ MacOS: ~/.ipm

  For Windows: %APPDATA%\Ricoh\InfoPrint Manager\ssl

• The administrator-enforced configuration directory:

  For AIX / Linux / MacOS : /etc/ipm

  For Windows: %windir%\ipm

A configuration file enforced by an administrator must be readable for everyone, but not writable. Any directive present in the administrator version of the configuration file overwrites the same directive in the user version of the configuration file, regardless of its configuration in the latter file. At least one of the two client configuration files must exist in order to modify the default SSL encryption behavior. If the certificate files and keys are found in
