Determines the TLS/SSL security policy (WINHTTP_OPTION_SECURITY_FLAGS) for printers using the Microsoft IPP Class Driver. By default, security policy is set to ignore all certificate errors, allowing use of self-signed certificates for printers.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the default is to ignore all certificate errors (all checkboxes unchecked).
