secure  - the most secure way, the MFP certificate is validated against trusted Certification Authorities installed in YSoft SafeQ server. This option is recommended.
simple  - MFP certificates are not validated at all, any certificate received is accepted. This is the default option, it is recommended to change it to  secure  as soon as you install your CA into YSoft SafeQ server.

Then click Save settings.
