Digital Signatures in Portal

Is there any digital signing tools that can be incorporated into Portals
so that a Portal user could digitally sign a document contained in the Portal
environment?
Has anyone accomplished this?
Thanks for any help or information...

Regarding #1, the short answer is no. Every time the file is digitally signed it necessitates it being saved. That's what allow "View Signed Version" and signature roll back to work.
As for # 2, it depends on the version of Acrobat. Versions 6 and 7 allowed anyone to remove a signature as long as it wasn't a certifying signature. In the case of the certifying signature on the signer could remove. Beginning with version 8 you can only clear if you have access to the digital ID that was used to create the signature.

    Hi,
    Is SSO configured fine between portal and backend? Are you able to open SAPGUI through portal? ie., in System Administration->Support->SAP Application->SAP Transaction-> <System Alias>
    Also check if the portal certificate is valid under System Administration-> Keystore administration.

  • How (if at all) can Portal be used with Digital Signatures

    We are looking at how to handle a web based Digital Signature/Digital Certificate application. If it was simply client/server the answer is pretty clear using OAS and the "Wallet Manager" on the client side.
    Now, we have a potentially vast number of users who might logically use the web to access and submit information requiring a digital signature. Since they could be any where, we can't be in the business of handing out their certs, but we will have to be able to accept their certs. I'm glossing over the details here.

  • Use of active directory userid/password authentication instead of SAP R/3 User/Password for digital signature?

    Dear all,
    I am looking to setup the use of active directory userid/password authentication instead of SAP R/3 User/Password for digital signature. We SSO to the backened ABAP AS via an SAP NW Portal to which SPNEgo kerberos authentication is setup. Today we specify R3 user id/password to digitally approvae a lot release. The idea is to have users maintain one AD password and don't have to remember the R/3 password anymore and also our Security team to avoid password maintenance.
    I know there are 3 options for digital signature and
    System signature with authorization by user ID and password (We use this currently)
    Digital User signature with verification - (We would like to use this with AD userid/password, so the system still ask the users their AD userid/password for the authentication when they try to "sign" a document.)
    User signature without verification
    Do you think there is a way to configure the system in order to ask and check the active directory userid/password instead of SAP R/3 password? Where can I found documentation about it ?
    I have several different versions of AS ABAP starting from NW 7.02 to NW 7.31.
    My active directory is based on Windows 2008.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Actually enabling Kerberos for SSO purposes and enabling Kerberos for digital signatures are two different topics although the latter is because of the former. I'm interested in the topic as well and I'm currently looking at different options. SAP provides a BAdI for the digital signature API which can be used for external authentication but they do not provide the solution to invoke Kerberos authentication based on username and password. SAP provides a semi solution with NWSSO 2.0 SP2 which works only on Windows with classic dynpros meaning SAP GUI for Windows is assumed. The solution is based on an ActiveX component which does the actual Kerberos authentication using the Secure Login Client which is part of the NWSSO suite. Extending that implementation to non-Windows and non-GUI applications would require some sort of web enabled service that could be used to authenticate the user with username and password. In case authentication is successful, a Kerberos token would be returned to SAP which would then be validated. All the required pieces are there since SAP has Kerberos support now in both stacks of the NetWeaver Application Server, some bits are still missing though which leaves customers looking at 3rd party or custom solutions.

  • Want insertion of Digital Signature not to require a save

    I have an issue that I would appreciate someone's help on. I have been with Adobe Tech Support via their portal. Yet I have not been able to establish whether what I want to accomplish is doable.
    What I have is a document that actually consists of several documents, which in aggregate comprises our application for persons wanting to drive for us. For the sake of this scenario please understand that the document is not to be broken up into multiple files. It is created as a single document to facilitate the management of the numerous applicants by in-house staff.
    Anyway - this form has multiple digital signatures. The department head insists on this as each section of this document has information to be attested to as original and accurate. However, we find that only the first digital signature is used to certify the document, and any additional serve only in a "confirming" capacity.
    So we have this document with multiple digital signatures, the first of which certifies the document and the remaining as "confirmation". And all of these digital signature fields are set as "required" in their properties. The form is developed and presented for testing. So we enter just one of the several digital signatures and attempt to save the file. What we expected to happen was the pop-up of a dialogue to point out that all of the required digital signature fields were not completed. But no such warning arises, and this circumstance "raises an eyebrow" or two within the firm, who expect this edit to appear.
    Based on recommendations from Adobe support I go out to the developers site and research scripting. After several hours I come away with a script that will indeed spawn a message when any digital signature is missing. However, another problem arises. After closing out the dialogue box and inserting the first of several missing digital signatures I am immediately required to save the file. The save works and here we have the form with several digital signatures still not signed. This allows the user to forward on the form to us, at which time the file will be reviewed and returned to the user for further completion. And in the event that only one of several missing signatures is entered, and the file again saved and forwarded, this scenario has the potential of being repeated several times.
    Is there any way through scripting for the insertion of the digital signature not to spawn a save of the document? Thanks!

    Is there any isight as to how this is done?
    I am currently opening a file from Teamcenter engineering, however if I try to save the file it complains there is another copy open elsewhere (which isn't true).  I have to export the file first, save it and then check it back in.  It seems to be the only area that behaves like this, as I am able to markup the document add pages,etc and save the document just fine.
    If I could remove the save as function and just use "Save" I think that this would help.
    Appreciate any/all replies!
    Regards,
    Sean.

  • WDJ Adobe digital Signatures

    Hello SDN,
    I have to implement Digital signatures in my Webdynpro interactive forms. In sdn I found one example related to online Interactive form security but for offline I couldnt find.
    In offline scenario, a user will send pdf form to customer or employee etc to fill the form and send it back.
    1) Here how a receiver will know that he got the form, from an authorized person?
    2) Once the form is filled and send it back, how receiver can validate whether the filled form came from an authorized person?
    3) Also how exactly I can use digital signatures? what are the technical requirements for implementing digital signatures?(SSL is mandatory?)
    Can some one guide me on this?
    Appreciate your help.
    With regards,
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    Digital signatures can also be created and verified as of Adobe Reader 5.1. Users can use the Adobe Acrobat Reader to display and print files in PDF format, whose content and appearance correspond to the paper version, on a cross-platform basis. The prerequisites for this are the use of the new Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions and the replacement of SmartForms by Adobe Acrobat (this is still in development). SSF is not used.
    Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions assign additional usage rights to electronic forms that were created with Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Adobe Form Designer 5.0. Digital signatures are a type of usage right.
    Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.1 can be downloaded free-of-charge from Adobe's Web site, and processes the usage rights that were embedded in PDF forms by the Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions.

  • Digital Signatures for cProjects Approval

    Hi Folks,
    I am on cProjects 4.5 and from what I understand there are 2 options for this based on whether or not I check the "Signature of Approval with User Certificate" box in Project Type config.
    Unchecked - user is prompted for cProjects password and this works fine. Only issue for us is, we are on the portal and most likely cProjects password will be different and unknown to user. As per note 928527 this is standard behavior and tough luck for anybody on the portal.
    Checked - use is given the ability to digitally sign the PDF approval document. When I select "sign" on the PDF I am given the ability to create a new ID or use an existing ID from a file, server etc. I created a new ID and signed the document. Once I do this and click the transfer button the system appears to hang. The progress indicator appears and keeps going.
    Therefore my questions are:
    1. Is there any additional config I need to do in cProjects. ADS or anywhere else?
    2. How exactly does adobe digital signatures work? If anybody simply create a signature how does that provide any verification of authenticity?
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Lashan

    Hi,
    please see teh Configuration Content for cProjects 4.5 available in SAP Solution Manager and also as PDF attachment to SAP Note 1035436.
    There it says:
    Making Settings for the Approval
    Use
    You can use user certificates for digital signatures of approvals.
    Prerequisites
    ● You are using Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.
    ● You have a user certificate that is suitable for digital signatures (for example, the single
    sign-on certificate).
    ● You have installed Adobe® Reader and Adobe Document Services.
    Procedure
    To verify the signature, enter the corresponding root certificate in the certificate list of the
    Personal Security Environment (PSE, transaction STRUST). For more information, see the
    documentation for the activity and the Adobe Document Services u2013 Configuration Guide NW
    2004s on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/adobe u2192 Media Library u2192
    Documentation.
    In fact, what is described in the ADS documentation referenced above is that you have to install
    the certificate also on the ADS.

    Hi,
    maybe the reason for this is that the status of the digital signature is not changed. Then the system thinks that the digital signature is still completed and therefore the user is not getting the pop-up again. The database table for the digital signature for documents is TC77. I hope this information is usefull for you.

    Since release 4.0A, the SAP system has provided digital signatures, to secure digital documents and business processes. Previously, such digital signatures were only available for selected positions in the SAP system. If a function was to be connected to further applications, the program code had to be extended according to the application. This is very time consuming.
    As of release 6.20, a standardized and flexible programming interface is available, with which the digital signature can be connected to any areas in both R/3 systems and other systems, such as APO, CRM, etc. In principle, no changes are made to the existing functions, and the following functions are added:
    The document to be signed is called up by the relevant application and forwarded to the signature
