HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP - CA Certificates for commercial Email services (white paper)

Obtaining CA Certificates

There are a number of ways to obtain the correct CA Certificate.

1) Request the CA Certificate from the administrator of the server.

2) After identifying the Certificate Authority, request the certificate directly from the

Certificate Authority.

3) After identifying the Certificate Authority, search for the CA Certificate in the certificate

repository of a trusted operating system or browser.

4) Use an online tool such as https://ssl-tools.net .

For more information, see Obtaining CA Certificates for other services using SSSL-Tools

For information about CA Certificates for a number of popular email providers, see Notable CA

Certificates.

Obtaining CA Certificates for other services using SSSL-Tools (https://ssl-

tools.net)

The https://ssl-tools.net/mailservers site can be used to query any publicly accessible mail

server for its certificate chain and download the appropriate CA certificate. This tool only

checks for servers using the STARTTLS method; if the mail service uses SMTPS, this tool will not

be able to query the service.

services that were checked. No statement can be made about any other email

services.

Follow these steps to obtain the CA Certificates:

1) Go to https://ssl-tools.net/ , and then click Test mail servers.

2) In the Check your mail servers encryption page, type the hostname of the mail server in

the text box (smtp.mail.yahoo.com, for example), and then click Test mail servers.

Note: This hostname should be the same hostname that is used to configure the Scan to

Email feature of an MFP.
