ADS - Digital Signature

Hi,
I have configured ECC 6.0 to use CRM dual stack ADS. SLL for ADS-Interactive Forms and RFC ADS_HTTPS is working fine for all test reports. Uploaded the credentials in Visual Admin with Alias ReaderRights. Now while testing a report FP_PDF_TEST_07, I am getting below error.
Test Program: Server-Side Signature

For using Digital signature, I need to upload a file as ServerSignature Alias name in VisualAdmin? Where/How do I get this file. I created an OSS message and they are not helping. Please help ASAP.
Thanks,

    Hi Abraham,
    The workaround software we have used is provided by Ace Technology, they are one of the approved DSC vendors.
    This is their contact details:
    | Email: [email protected] | website: www.acetechnology.co.in
    If you are going for the same vendor, go for a Grade 3 signature, it allows you to do a Mass Digital Signature.
    The tech support provided by them was not that great, we eventually figured out how to use thier product, but incase you take the same service I can help you in figuring out how to use the USB token.

  • 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.
    for SSL service go through:[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/40cacc80-c1fc-2a10-f8b5-9e33b1829552]

  • 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.
    Kind regards,
       Florian

  • How Adobe reader will access SAP PKI for digital signatures

    Hello,
    I am using a ABAP report to upload signed PDF document and validating the signature. However signature which I am using is client side Signature and not the server side. I still hope that I would be able to get these signatures from document.
    When I call execute method of CL_FP_PDF_OBJECT it gives this error
    Exception from the class CX_FP_RUNTIME_SYSTEM was caught, and that is due to No SSL installed yet.
    But I have doubt that, does ADS has trouble seperating the client side (local signatures from document), I hope not!
    One more question, If my PKI is setup Using SAPSECLIB or SAPCRPLIB then how will my local adobe reader access to this server to get public keys..
    I am facing hard time visualizing, where we will specify in my Adobe acrobat that go to So and so SAP server for keys!! Or Private keys are always with signers on his machine?
    Thanks,
    Nitesh Shelar

    Hello Philipp,
    Thanks for your reply.
    So as we can add any directory server in Adobe reader and trusted identities, we can do the same with Adobe document services? So its Adobe document services, which actually validates the signature and not the web application server.
    I have one more query. I have five level approval on my form where five approvers will use Windows Certificate Store to sign the document. But for this I assume that document needs to be passed from one approver to next approver in offline mode. Because once PDF document goes back to server only data of PDF will be retained after validating the signatures. So if we have multilevel approver scenario as I have in my case, we will always have to use offline mode? I am using the WebDynpro right now, can Guided procedure or ISR can help in this case.(Multiple approvers using digital signatures to sign the document)?
    Thanks,
    Nitesh Shelar.

  • SSL/DIGITAL SIGNATURE Configuration problems

    Dear All,
    We are facing problems while configuring SSL for Digital signature. We are following the stpes given in ADS Configuration document. Documents present in help.sap.com do not give a clear picture of the various steps involved in authentication using digital signature. We require help with all the steps involved. To provide brief background, we have ABAP and JAVA engines on seperate servers and we were able to configure ADS successfully using basic authentication method as described in ADS config document. Now for Digital signature. we need to configure SSL, while doing so we are facing problems. We went through a lot of blogs and sdn links and numerous documents in SDN but still the problem remains. Please help us.

    Hi,
    When we execute the standard transaction for form 16 , three pdf forms are copied to the given location, they are
    Annex , form12BA and  form16
    Only file Annex contains data, the other two files are of 0 bytes. And also the file containing the data doesn't contain digital signature.
    We have gone through all the configuration check given in the ADS configuration document and all are given the correct output.
    Also we have installed  the credential file.
    Please guide us.

  • How i add digital signature in interactive form

    Hi gurus,
    I want to upload an Digital Signature in Adobe forms. Could any body tell me the procedures please help me out.
    Thank you,
    pawan

    Hi Pawan,
    Inorder to make use of Digital Signatures in forms, you have to first configure the ADS based on SSL and not Basic Authentication. Refer to the ADS Configuration guide for the same.
    After the configuration using SSL as the security mode, you need to place a signature field when designing the Adobe form.
    In addition you need to create a signature in Adobe Reader(if used to display the form) which you can use to sign the document at runtime.
    Hope this helps.

  • Digital Signature Vendors?

    Hello,
    We are building an application that our sales agents will use to fill in fields that will generate a pdf contract that we need to send to new customers. Has anyone used a digital signature vendor such as DocuSign or EchoSign to handle this process? We could give them the ability to check a box or something stating they agree to the contract, but prefer to have an outside vendor that follows certain compliance protocols to ensure the document will be legally binding upon signature. Both of these vendors have development kits for Java, PHP, C, etc. but would prefer something in straight javascript or easier to incorporate with APEX.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Digital Signature automatically inserted for batch processing

    hey guys... hope you can shed some light...
    Is it possible to generate a non-interactive form with a digital signature already in-place?
    We're generating invoices in batch processing and need to have a digital signature in place when we email the PDF to our vendor. The digital signature will always be the same.
    I did see this in the LCD help:
    "You can use Adobe document services to sign a document, validate a
    signature, select the collection of objects to lock, or certify a PDF
    document programmatically. This workflow is ideal when a large number
    of documents require a signature because they can be signed in a batch
    process.
    To sign PDF documents in Adobe document services, configure the web
    service for secure access using the secure sockets layer (SSL). For
    details about this configuration, see the Adobe document services
    Configuration documentation."
    I have a link to the older ADS config document [-Here-|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30a9630b-4f89-2a10-6fab-e311b3ffd9a6] and am in the process of looking through it.
    However, has anyone done something like this already?

    Otto,
    thanks!
    I hadn't checked out the demo - i didn't even know there was a demo program provided . BTW, it's FP_TEST_07.
    I do believe you're correct that it needs to be an interactive form - that wont be an issue for us.
    There is some documentation floating around that we're trying to piece together - we have our Basis team configuring the ADS for SSL connections.
    From what I've seen, I think we have to store our signature in the ADS and attach it at run time.
    Too many moving parts - I don't like it when I have to get more than 1 group involved to complete a develoment item.
    I'll keep this thread updated as we progress.
