Certificate of Completion

Is there a way to add a Certificate of Completion at the end
of a course - to be generated when the learner has satisfactorily
completed the course? I am using Captivate 3 with Windows
XP.

Generally this is handled by an LMS.
To do in CP, the best I can think of is to make the last page
a
certificate that shows the user's score/results.
Or you could use basic branching, perhaps, to show or not
that
certificate slide...but not sure how you'd do that based on
the user's
score (CP branches are, afaik, based on clicks, not on
variable values).

PDF customized certificate of completion

I need to create a printable landscape PDF certificate of completion, and I am not sure the best approach to take. The end certificate should look kind of like a diploma (will have fancy image border, some logos...). The certificate is basically a template with a couple of dymanicly populated areas (like the name). What is the best way to accomplish this? Do I create a PDF form template in Acrobat first, then read that in using cfpdf and then try to populate the dynamic areas (if that is even possible). I tried using cfdocument, which seemed to be the easiest solution, but I cannot get the certificate to take up the whole page - it only seems to take up 1/3 of the page no matter what I do.
Running CF8 (DW CS3 though I generally only use it for coding and do not know how to even use the extensions).
Thanks for any suggestions or references to tutorials or other threads.

Adding a Certificate of Completion

Hi!
Is there an easy way to create a certificate of completion for the module that I created? I found the link, but is not a very easy way...
I hope it will work with the pdf files that we're going to deliver to the students.
http://www.connectusers.com/tutorials/2009/02/certificates/
Thank you for the previous help. Adobe Presenter works OK now but only from the Administrator (built-in) account.
Thanks.
Margareta

There is a Certificate of Completion built-in, with several templates, but the student taking the module or course can only add his/her name and Presenter adds the total score, not the name of the module / course, and school. Did anyone find out a better way to issue these certificates? I cannot use Adobe Connect as the client wants to have these resources available offline.
Thanks.

Certificate of completion Captivate 8

Hei everyone.
Anyone here who knows how to change color theme on certificate of completion widget in captivate 8, or if it's even possible? I am able to change colour of text but can't see where to change colour of background, style etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hei Lilybiri,
Thanks for the help. I have followed the steps on your blog but the weird thing is that when i click on customize i don't get a dialog box. nothing under default colors and nothing under theme colors. The only choice i get is to change text color.
What could be the reason?
Here are the steps i have followed on your blog:
The interaction themes are at the left, with default theme selected; use the Custom button at the bottom
Default Colors are activated, and you could customize them using the Customize button, but then you'll see the old cold dialog box, which has no link to your theme colors
Click on Theme colors: the preview will be changed immediately, and the Customize button now appears under Theme Colors
When using this customize button, you'll see the Theme colors with their tints when changing a color.

Certificate of Completion with Date Stamp

Greetings,
Is it possible to make a form that will automatcally add a date stamp to it.? Here is the scenario: a user completes a series of questions through an eLearning module. At the end of it, they click on a button/link that takes them to a page that has a PDF in it. The PDF has a fillable form so they enter their name into it and at some point, maybe when they get to the pdp, it is time/date stamped for that user. They print the PDF out and give it to their supervisor.
Make sense?
Maybe it's not possible to get the stamp to be added as soon as they get to the PDF, maybe they have to push a button on the PDF to have it added? I don't know what is possible or if it is possible. We would just like to have some way to get a date stamp onto the PDF. The PDF doesn't have to be downloaded, it only needs to be printed as hardcopy, although having an option to have the PDF emailed to the user might be an option as long as it can only be printed.
Comments, suggestions?

Yes, it's possible, with a bit of JavaScript. You can have the date field automatically populated when the form is first opened or after they enter their name. For the latter, you could add the following script to the Validate event of the name field:
// Get a reference to the date field
var f = getField("date");
if (event.value) {
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
} else {
f.value = "";
Replace "date" with the actual name of your date field. You can also use a different date format, but this should get you started. If you want it to populate when the document is opened, it's a bit more complicated, but post again if this is what you want.

I am trying to copy & save an email that has my certificate in it. I need to turn it into a PDF file & upload onto the proper website. I don' t know how to do t

I have an email that has my Certificate of Completion as part of the email. I can't save it to my desktop since the whole site of my email messages appear again!
I need to upload my Certificate of Completion of a course I completed onto a professional website so I can
get credit for attending it.
I think it has to be a PDF file.

I misunderstood. You want to print the entire email in a way that looks decent.
Most email sites have a "printable view" link or button. This may be in an obscure location. For example, on Outlook.com, it is on the ... menu (last item on the menu bar when viewing a message).
If you want to PDF the email, you can print it to a PDF printer driver. Examples include:
* PrimoPDF - http://www.primopdf.com/
* PDF Creator - http://www.pdfforge.org/

SSL (Self Signed Certificate) in Business Connector

After going through hundreds of messages, I am still not clear about the steps involved in including SSL certificate with HTTP protocol.
1. Instead of subscribing to Trusted Certificate Authority, can we ceate a Self Signed Certificate? If yes, how?
2. Can anyone please explain the steps involved in including SSL certificate (configuring/importing the certificate)? We are successfully calling HTTP and sending the XML document to a HTTPS URL with authorized user name and password. I need to include SSL certificate to complete the requirement. I have looked at all the PDF documents that are available with BC installation and looked at many forums and still haven't found the answers.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramesh.
When untrusted root certificates may be acceptable
Some CAs may be trusted, but in only a very limited way. For example, a company with employees in diverse
locations can make internal documents available to all its employees by setting up a Web site on an intranet that
is only accessible from inside the corporate LAN (i.e. people on the Internet cannot see it). If there are
documents on this site that should have limited access within the company (such as strategic plans or personnel
documents), then these can be protected with SSL.
Since both the servers as well as the browsers are on corporate-controlled equipment, it is well within the
companyu2019s interests to act as its own CA. This means that the company can generate its own root certificate
with which it can sign as many SSL certificates as required for the servers deployed in its intranet. Once this is
done, this certificate should be installed into the certificate stores of all the browsers used in the company. Since
the computers these browsers run on are controlled by the company, this is easy to do: the corporate IT
department can have a policy that the companyu2019s root certificate is installed in the browseru2019s certificate store
whenever a new computer is set up. This prevents security warnings from being displayed whenever an
employee accesses an SSL-secured site on the company intranet.
The advantage to the company is that it can deploy secured sites anywhere on its intranet without purchasing
certificates from an external CA. Note that if the company also runs an e-commerce site, then it should purchase
its SSL certificate from a trusted CA and not use an internal one for sites accessible to the public, who will not
have the certificate installed by the corporate IT department, and thus would receive a security warning.
In such an environment, an unscrupulous employee (most likely a member of the IT team) who has access to
the private key could launch very successful MITM attacks against employees who visit SSL-protected ecommerce
and e-banking sites at work. This will be discussed later in this document. However, the company
can easily protect itself by warning employees not to visit such sites on company time or equipment, since they
are not u201Cbusiness related activities.u201D
Please see this doc related to trusted and untrusted certificate.

Https without certificates / wallet??

Hi,
is it possible in Oracle 9i, 11i or 11r2 to connect to SSL sites without requiring a certificate chain completed via Oracle wallet??
thanks,
Robert.

1. Import the external sites certificate to the Walletyes you will need to deploy the external site certificate in your oracle wallet
2. Generate a certificate requestYou will need to do this if you want to make your application SSL enabled and ask the external system to use HTTPS protocol to send back the confirmation to your system.
3. Send my generated file off to a certificate authority along with payment and then when the return the validated certificate import this into the wallet to complete the chainWhen you want external system to use HTTPS://....., then you will need to buy a certificate and SSL enable your system using the certificate that you have purchased. So when the external system will try to send back the Confirmation, they will need to deploy your root certificate in their system to consider your system as trusted and send the confirmation back to your system.

Certificate query

i am planning to give
1. 1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
2. Program with PL/SQL 1Z0-147
as per oracle site :
i will get Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate certificate after completion of both exam right ?
do they give any intermediate certificate after step 1 ?
is percentile printed on certificate ?

My previous answer was a litle bit short , but in fact ..
Only sql exam which gives a certification by itself is 1z0-047 , so after step one you won't get certification after passing your choosen exam.
After you will pass both exams from your question , you will get OCA certification . Percentage is never on certification "diploma" , anyway in most cases is certification result of few exams passed. Percentage is writen only, as i know, on exam results which are ment to be for your personal use.
Have a nice day

Certificate of Completion_Captivate 4

Hey Everyone,
At the end of the Captivate course, I want the participates to have the ability to print out a certificate of completion. How can this be done in Captivate 4?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Captivate 4 ships with lot of widgets, one of them is the Certificate Widget. You may insert the certificate widget from the Widgets panel. Follow Windows >> Widget to invoke the widget panel
You will find more details about the widget here : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Captivate/4.0/Using/WS48CDC052-3430-49b3-9BFC-0FC7793F1C34.htm l

Need Certificate Widget for Cap 5 with Auto Date

Okay, folks--I've spent a half day on this and it's time to throw up my hands. I've wandered all over the internet, sure I would find the answer, but no.
I'm not a Flash developer or a code afficianado. I'm just your average instructional designer trying to get along with Captivate 5. I don't want to create a bunch of new stuff. I want the functionality there for me. I did research and try to see what it would take for me to develop my own certificate widget, but it sort of defeats the whole rapid e-learning premise, if you know what I mean!
I just want a certificate of completion widget that A) allows the user to enter his name B) autofills the date C) actually inserts my logo instead of asking for the file and then doing nothing with it C) prints out when you click the print button. Where can I put my hands on such a widget that will function in CAPTIVATE 5?
(Why, OH WHY, doesn't the certificate of completion work the way it did in Captivate 4? In desperation, I tried loading the widget that was used for 4, but it's not happy in 5. And WHY would you have it available in the award certificate and not the completion certificate? I don't want to AWARD them. I want to acknowleded that they successfully completed a tutorial.)

By the way the certificate widget doesn't work using the instructions in "Using Adobe Captivate 5" manual (which are actually 4s instructions), no blank slide with a variable of v_Name is required.
The correct instructions for 5 are:
Insert a blank slide after the quiz result and insert the certificate widget, choose the layout and add information:
·         Name of the course
·         Date on which the course was taken or leave default dates which fill in automatically upon completion
·         Signature of Authority
Once published, before the certificate is displayed, there is an auto generated page by the widget requiring the user to input a name, and to use the Submit button. The name automatically is inserted on the Certificate. It can also be tested by Previewing it.
Note: This still didn't work for me after I had set up the certificate widget according to the manual and after much research I found that if you have already created a variable in Project/Variables named v_Name, in order to get the certificate to work in Captivate 5 the variable needs to be removed from Project/Variables.
Captivate may tell you it can't remove the variable and that it is attached to a slide, however once you remove the slide that it was used on and delete it from the library you can remove the variable. As a precaution, I shut down Captivate and reopened it to clear any temp memory, then checked to see if the variable was gone and it was. At that point I inserted the certificate following the instructions above and it worked correctly.
Good luck, Scharolet

RMI over SSL under Web Start can't find trusted certificate

I have implemented RMI over SSL to get a Java EJB Client application talking to a JRun server over SSL. It works fine from the command line, but when I try to run it as a Web Start application, I get
java.security.cert.CertificateException: Couldn't find trusted certificate
(More complete stack trace below)
I am using a test certificate, not one from a bona fide CA.
I have tried putting the key store file in one of the jars used by the application, and adding:
<argument>-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=jssecacerts</argument>
and
<argument>-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=jar:http://ip/app/xxx/lib/JarWithCacs.jar!/jssecacerts</argument>
to no avail.
If I copy the jssecacerts to Web Start's jre/lib/security directory, it works fine.
I have seen other postings that say to use keytool to update the JRE used by Web Start, but that kind of defeats the purpose of Web Start: zero admin client. I can't touch each user's machine.
I have seen other posts saying to implement a more relaxed trust manager, but that doesn't seem right either.
I am using JDK 1.4.1_02b6 on Win2k. This should be irrelevant: JRun 4 sp1a.
Is there a way to specify the jssecacerts file in the jnlp file so Web Start will recognize it?
Thanks for any help,
John

I think I have an answer:
1) Package the truststore file in the client JAR file
2) Add code to the client to copy the truststore from the JAR file to the client hard drive
3) Add code to the client to set the truststore properties to refer to the file on the client hard drive
<<code>>
private void setupTrustStore() {
try {
// save truststore file to local disk
File homeDir = new File(System.getProperty("user.home"));
File trustStoreFile = new File(homeDir, "mytruststore");
URL url =
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("mytruststore");
BufferedInputStream in =
new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
BufferedOutputStream out =
new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(trustStoreFile));
while(true) {
int data = in.read();
if(data < 0) break;
out.write(data);
in.close();
out.flush();
out.close();
// set truststore properties
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",
trustStoreFile.getPath());
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "mypasswd");
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

ASA // certificate-handling (trustpoints)

Hi!
I have a question regarding certificate-handling in the ASA (for example for using it for AnyConnect).
I'm not talking of the internal CA here, just about handling certificates coming from an external CA.
If you configure a trustpoint on the ASA - can the trustpoint itself contain i whole hierarchy of certificates? For example, one root-CA-certificate, one intermediate-CA-certificate, and one certificate for the ASA itself, where the ASA holds the private key, too?
For me it would be logical, but I can't do it. I always have to configure a separate trustpoint for each level - in this case two: One for the certificate of the root-CA, the second for the intermediate-CA. The second than also holds the certificate of the ASA itself.
Is this really the "right" way to do it? I get everything to work (validation and stuff) when using the second way, but I'm confused because of the command "crypto ca certificate chain <trustpoint>", which for me indicates that it should indeed be possible to have a complete chain of certificates, a complete hierarchy so to speak, associated to this trustpoint.
The documentation didn't help me out here.
Thanks for clarification.
Florian

I will just add another snippet of information, to make even more clear what I mean.
This is the configuration of my lab-ASA. It holds 3 (three!) trustpoints, which basically are all from the same CA (it's the free startssl.com CA).
startssl.com-root is the trustpoint holding the root-certificate. startssl.com-client is one intermediate CA of startssl.com. It issues certificates for clients (for instance, I have a WebVPN-User having such a certificate, who authenticates with this certificate successfully against the ASA). startssl.com-server is another intermediate CA, this CA issues certificates for webservers. My ASA has it's own certificate (for WebVPN) issued from this CA, holding the private key for it.
crypto ca trustpoint startssl.com-root
enrollment terminal
crl configure
crypto ca trustpoint startssl.com-client
revocation-check crl
enrollment terminal
crl configure
crypto ca trustpoint startssl.com-server
enrollment terminal
crl configure
crypto ca certificate chain startssl.com-root
certificate ca 01
[hex-output omitted]
quit
crypto ca certificate chain startssl.com-client
certificate ca 0d
[hex-output omitted]
quit
crypto ca certificate chain startssl.com-server
certificate ca 0a
[hex-output omitted]
quit
certificate 017a56
[hex-output omitted] (this is the certificate of the ASA itself)
quit
For me it would make more sense to have ONE trustpoint (startssl.com), which holds the complete chain of root, the two intermediate CAs, and my own certificate.
Regards,
Florian

Verification that someone has completed training?

Hello,
I just downloaded a trial version of Captivate and before I decide to buy the software, I need to know if it can do something specific for me. I've watched the training videos and looked around the support section and I can't find what I need...
Can I set up a slide that users can fill out and click on to verify that they have completed a training? It would be even better if it were to have a certificate of completion come up after they fill out the verification.
Here's the idea.
Trainees watch short presentation
Then trainess complete a quiz
After quiz they fill out their name and agency info info a short form
They check a box that says they have indeed finished the training and if they completed quiz and filled out the form then the last slide would be a certifcate that they could print out.
If they don't complete the quiz and/or form, they either have to start over with the quiz or go back to the form.
Does that make any sense? My coding experience is nill, so I don't even know if I am asking my questions correctly. Is this something that I could do by myself without having to hire a programmer?
Thanks,
Megan

Hi Megan
I believe what Mr. Partridge is referring to is the certificate Widget supplied by Captivate 4. Certainly it allows one to have a certificat of completion.
However, as I understand your question, it is really twofold in nature, no?
1. You want some sort of electronic indication that the user has completed the course. Perhaps an acknowledgement sent back to a database or something.
2. You want the certificate.
Mr. Partridge has given you the answer for the second part. So here's the answer for the first.
Captivate creates output that is often uploaded to and works in conunction with a Learning Management System (LMS). When a LMS serves a Captivate movie to a learner, it engages in a conversation. The "language" the conversation uses is typically known as SCORM or AICC. That's how Captivate works best. Captivate does also offer E-Mail reporting to a specific E-Mail address, but it's very unreliable and works about 50% of the time.
Now this reporting is usually the result of a quiz, where you ask questions of the learners and they are graded on the accuracy of the answers they supply. But there are often times when all you need is an acknowledgement that they viewed the course. That is easily obtained by just inserting a Button object on a slide near the end. The Button is configured to report back.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

DSEE7 - DPS and CA-signed SSL certificates

I recently deployed two new DSEE7 DPS servers and last night was attempting to install CA-signed (GoDaddy) SSL certificates on them. I used dpadm to generate the required 2048-bit CSR and received my certificates. I added them to the servers using the DSCC interface and after adding them and restarting the instance the certs were not showing up. I thought perhaps the operation had failed so I tried again and saw that the alias already existed. I then noticed that the certificate was listed under the CA certificates. I deleted it from there and imported the cert using dpadm add-cert, only to have the same thing happen again.
dpadm add-cert /usr/local/dps/instance/ dps03.prod.domain.com /tmp/dps03.prod.domain.com.crt
# dpadm list-certs /usr/local/dps/instance
0 certificate found.
# dpadm list-certs -C /usr/local/dps/instance | grep dps03
dps03.prod.domain.com 2010/01/19 11:08 2013/01/19 11:08 n SERIALNUMBER=xxxxxxxx, CN=Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority, OU=http://certificates.godaddy.com/repository, O="GoDaddy.com, Inc.", L=Scottsdale, ST=Arizona, C=US CN=dps03.prod.domain.com, OU=Domain Control Validated, O=dps03.prod.domain.comI have installed SSL certificates from GoDaddy on all my other production DS and DSEE systems (6.3.1) without issue, including their intermediate and root certificates to complete the trust chain.
Does anyone have any insight into what the issue might be and how to correct it?

Hi,
Have you used the same alias in both case ? . i.e
dpadm request-cert [options] /usr/local/dps/instance dps03.prod.domain.com
then
dpadm add-cert /usr/local/dps/instance/ dps03.prod.domain.com /tmp/dps03.prod.domain.com.crt
