Configuration of Digital Signature

Hello experts,
I want to configure digital signature on form 16 with ECC 6.0 ABAP stacks only.
can it be possible without using Jabva stack?
If it is possible then please guide me through any link or any steps.
Thanks & Regards,
Richa Saran

Hi Richa,
In my opinion, a Java stack is must as you would need ADS for the Form 16. ADS is a usage type on Java stack itself.
Check Note 1168740
Further, follow note 510007

Not able to configre Digital Signature

Hi All,
I have a requirement to configure the Digital Signature in R/3 System. I have a digital signature also
Environment:
1.ECC 6.0 ABAP+Java with Oracle 10g and Linux
2. EP 7.0 is also connected with ECC System
1. ADS Service is configured in R/3 and it is tested and running well
I have read some guide as well as saw the Weblog also regading ADS. Now i have some confusion and i am not able to get my answer.
1. How many certificate required for SOAP client authentication.
2 Where to install these certificate ABAP stack JAVA stack of ECC or Java stack on EP
What i did is given below.
I have configured the setting as per this blog and ADS guide
/people/dezso.pap/blog/2008/01/25/ads-ssl-configuration-journal-i-abap--java-640--70x
but i am getting the ADS_HTTPS connection errorin SM59 and that is related to something like certificate error, now i am confused between the certificate, it is not much clear that how many certificate is required for configuring the digital signature and where to install as ECC system is connected to EP system also.
Can any one help to to understand upon these points, because i am toltally confused between these certificates.

Digital signature for form-16

Hi Experts,
We have to implement digital signature for form-16 on only SAP system (not on portal). Can anyone write me steps to configure and impelement it in ECC6.0
I have read SAP Note 1168740 and tried to open the link
Steps to install these credetials is explained at following URL:
                         http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/db/ aafb211ead420faeeaa24e99eb5f41/frameset.htm

Hi Shree,
As mentioned in your post, the configuration given in the document is Basis related. However, the entire configuration for Digital Signature for Form 16 is available in Note 1168740. Are you facing some problem in opening the links mentioned in the Note?
You can try to visit the below links:
a) Uploading a digital signature in the system:
   You obtain your credentials and the corresponding public keys (as part of a certificate) for certifying and signing from a
   certification authority. Steps to install these credetials is explained at following URL:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/db/aafb211ead420faeeaa24e99eb5f41/frameset.htm

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/46/1ca382f3ec5873e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Also, go through the Note 1589254 (Form 16 central note for ADS configuration). In order to include digital signature to Form 16's PDF, some additional ADS configuration is required. This note provide check point of ADS configuration for Form16. Once done check the form 16 and let me know if you are getting some error on executing Form 16 with digital signature? Or are the signature not working at all?

How to configure CoSign Electronic Digital Signatures for UCM 11g

Hi everyone,
current I am doing a UCM poc with CoSign Electronic Digital Signature for a customer, this case is that when user approve a check-in PDF document in workflow, the user can use "sign and approve" to invoke the electronic digital signature action.
since ECM 11g is based on weblogic, I configured the keystore for the weblogic as the below steps:
1) use keytool to import a keystrore file just as cosigncert.jks from the cert file which provided by the vendor CoSign.
2) Security Realms->myRealm->Providers->Credential Mapping, create a new provider using "PKI Credential Mapping Provider" and configure the storekey cosigncert.jks for this provider.
3) Security Realms->myRealm->Providers->Authentication, select DefaultIdentityAsserter and add x509
4) configure storekey for AdminServer and UCM managerServer using cosigncert.jks
5) configure SSL for AdminServer and UCM managerServer.
after finishing this steps, access the UCM console to do the approve with siginature. but it always throw "can not find the validate certification path"
does any one know which step missing?
Thanks & Regards

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.

Mohammed

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.

Configure "Remark" for Digital Signature

I have read several posts about setting up digital signature for using in documents to get them approved. However, I have not found a post that outlines steps to configure with a "pre-populated value" for Remark.
For a digital signature we can make a "Remark" required. But how do we default it to a certain value. Any suggestions?
Need some urgent input. Thanks in advance.

No one has done this before?
No one has any knowledge of how to get this done?

Astha

hi Astha,
hope u r doing good.
some pointers for u r query from da note mentioned by Ayyappas.
Ask your BASIS guy to set up ur SMP ID .
It is now permitted to use Digital Signature on Form 16. Current Form 16 print program does not support this functionality
Prerequisites
SAP Note 1156084 - Sum of serial no. 18(a) & 18(b) incorrect on Form 16 PDF
Currently this solution supports single digital signature at a time. In case you have more than one digital signature uploaded in
the system, currently Form 16 will be signed with "Default" digital signature only.
Create connection between ADS (Adobe Document Services) and R/3 system:
This can be done through transaction 'SM59' --> connection type 'G' (HTTP Connection to External Server).
It is recommended that you create this connection with 'RFC Destination' name as 'ADS_HTTPS'.
Download:
.SAR attachment 480180 and 13719 should be downloaded with file names

Perform the following manual activities:
o Execute Transaction code 'SE38'.
o Enter Program Name 'HINCF160' and select 'Change' option
o Select 'GOTO' from menu bar and select 'Text Elements' and then

Excel 2013 crash - related to digital signature?

This is a cross-posting of a thread originally started in Microsoft Answers (Office- Excel) forum, advised to post in this forum by MS support engineer Mohan Suryanarayan (link to other forum: here).
I have a VB macro in file A (which otherwise contains only several Excel Tables with named ranges). My digital signature (for signing code) is attached to file A.
As the macro executes, the Open file dialog is called up so that the User can select a secondary file to open (file B or C).
Files B and C contain several sheets with formulas and Excel Tables, and also their own extensive VB macros. My digital signature is also attached to files B & C.
The remainder of the macro in file A simply executes an update of the Excel Tables in the secondary file, before saving & closing it.
I have been finding that during execution of the file A macro, Excel crashes and closes all open Excel files.
If I remove the digital signature from the secondary files then the macro in file A executes with no problem.
The macro was written in Excel 2007 and on a different laptop, with different digital signature, and used to have no problem at all. When a new laptop was purchased a new digital signature was obtained and placed into all of the files.
Execution of file A is a critical process - I need help with stopping the crash, while maintaining a digital signature in the secondary files (so that their own macros can execute).
Event Viewer error shows the following:
Faulting application name: EXCEL.EXE, version: 15.0.4667.1000, time stamp: 0x543d366c
Faulting module name: mso.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5447696f

JL Latham replied:
Tom, all I can give you is relatively non-information. I haven't experienced that type of behavior even in Excel 2013 with digitally signed macros in multiple workbooks. But my digital signature is a commercial one from DigiCert, not
self-cert. I'm not even sure what piece of Excel or Office processes the digital signature (that is, whether it is mso.dll or not). But your whole process has more moving parts than most of mine involving multiple workbooks do - I quite often turn
off .EnableEvents when doing things like that just so event driven macros in the other workbook(s) do not execute.
Do the macros in the 'B files' have to execute during all of this processing in file A? If not, have you tried turning interrupts off:
Application.EnableEvents = False
before starting to work with the B-files? Maybe something in them, such as a Worksheet_Change() or other event triggered process is messing things up?
If you do use Application.EnableEvents=False, remember that you MUST re-enable that later in the code with Application.EnableEvents=True to get responses to things like button clicks, changes in a worksheet or other event driven processes
to run 'normally' again.
Have you looked at this discussion:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/excel-2013-crashing-immediately-when-attempting-to/ea2ab100-5525-4a0d-a3cf-6977319f954f
Sounds very similar to yours - original signature created in 2007, and crashing in 2013. Some suggestions were made, but whether they fixed the issue or not is unknown: OP never came back and said "fixed it" or "didn't fix it".
I replied:
In answer, the secondary B files don't execute any part of their macros during the A file process, and I hadn't included an EnableEvents = False within the file A code. However, I have just tried it to check if it made any difference and unfortunately it didn't.
I had read the thread you gave a link to before posting, and also the sub threads given within that one, but didn't see anything I thought of immediate parallel other than an Excel 2013 crash.
The way I read the linked thread was that a User added a signature in Excel 2007 and when they tried to open the file Excel (2007?) crashes, although other people using Excel 2013 can open it (not clear whether it means others can open the one with
the 2007 signature or without it).
Anyway, the differences in my situation are that:
(1) my B-files were originally created in Excel 2007 on a different laptop to current and had their own signature attached. I maintain a 'stock' of B-file versions, some of which have the old signature and some the new. If I run the A-file macro
on one of the B-files with the old signature then it executes ok;
(2) I am able to open the B-files ok, no matter whether the signature in them derives from the old laptop with Excel 2007 or the new laptop with Excel 2013;
(3) the macros within the B-files execute ok (this includes any versions of the B-files which still have an old signature attached, by removing the old signature and replacing with the new and executing on the new laptop);
(4) the offending operation which triggers the crash (when the B-files have the new signature attached) is a Resize of the Excel Tables within the B-file. I understand that I may eventually have to find a workaround for this operation but initially
I want to sort out the signature issue (I'm reasonably sure the signature issue is not a red herring where the Resize is the 'real' problem).

Hi,
According to your description, this issue occurred with some particular files that stored in SharePoint site. Did the user download the file to local disk to print?
Based on the event log >>Faulting module name: EXCEL.EXE<<, it does not show the root Faulting module. Thus, please try to follow this KB to do general troubleshooting:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2758592
Then, if you have used "printer status application", please go to Device settings -> Installable options -> Printer Status notification and select disable.
If this issue still exists, we may need to collect the App crash dump file:

How do I create a digital signature to use when filling out applications online?

The application is asking me to add or create a digital ID to sign and encrypt documents. The certificate that comes with your digital ID is sent to others so that they can verify your signature.
I have four options: Browse for an existing digital ID file
Configure a roaming ID for use on this computer
Create a self-signed digital ID for use with Acrobat
Look for newly inserted hardware tokens

Formscentral does not support forms with digital signature workflows. I suggest you see if our Echosign product meets your needs.

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.

Digital signatures for customer facing documents

Hello,
I am a pretty experienced user of Adobe TechComm Suite (FrameMaker, RoboHelp), but I've never needed to dig too deep into Acrobat, so I am a newbie when it comes to setting up digital signatures.
I am using Acrobat Pro XI on Windows 7 professional, and the people who need to approve documents only have the free Adobe Reader. I don't have access to any sort of workflow system at the moment, and we aren't using a content management system. Adobe EchoSign is not suitable for our documents because of size restrictions and because 3rd-party cloud storage violates corporate policy.
What I'd like to be able to do is this:
Include a signatures page when I create a PDF of a document. Place the document at a shared network location (Windows network).
Notify approvers (Outllok email) that they need to digitally sign a PDF at a shared network location.
See the digital signatures and see that they all are valid.
Send out the signed PDF to external customers, in a way that it doesn't show customers that the document includes a form, and doesn't ask for more signatures, but does confirm that the PDF has not been changed since it was signed. Customers must be able to print all or part of the PDF if they want to.
I have a feeling that I may be missing some steps or some external components. Any advice on how to set this up would be welcome.
Thanks very much,
David

What you want to do can be done with Acrobat, but it depends a bit on how many internal users will be needing to sign the documents. For Reader users (desktop versions on Windows and Mac) to digitally sign a document, it needs to be Reader-enabled with either Acrobat Pro (not Standard) or LiveCycle Reader Extensions. The latter is expensive server-based software.
A signature field can be set up so that the document is locked to further changes once it is signed, but this involves the user selecting the option or you can pre-configure the document (signature field, specifically) with a bit of JavaScript so it will always be locked after signing.
The external users will be able to validate the signature (with Acrobat/Reader) and print if you haven't restricted printing.
