Digital Signature - Requirement to Enter User ID

Whassup Ya'll-
We'd like to leverage digital signature in our landscape. However, in order to be Part 11 compliant we will need to have our approvers enter both their user ID and corresponding password. However, as it stands when an approver is prompted for an e-sig, the User ID is already populated.
Please advise how to customize so the user is forced to enter both fields. I'll make it rain with points.
Cheers

Make a digital signature required

I am using Lifecycle Designer, and we are on version 8. I have looked through the Acrobat 8 PDF bible, and have also been searching the web but cannot figure out a way to do what I want. I see a lot of scripts, where you can set up a submit button to only work if a text box is filled out, but how do I do that based on a digital signature being unsigned. I have seen scripts that make the dig. signature mandatory, but even when signing it, the script still thinks it is null. Another option that would work would be if the submit button was read only, until the digital signature was signed. We are not using the email submit button or the HTTP submit buttion because we wanted to have the entire PDF returned not just the xml. Is what I am trying to do possible? I do not have much experience with java script of formcalc.
thanks in advance,
Nat

"valid digital signature" required????

I am trying to download a poker website that i have been using for years and i now get a message saying "...valid digital signature missing...". I don't understand. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Sounds like your security settings for their site are missing - such as might happen when you delete temproary Internet files and cookies.
Best bet would be to call their support number.
If you have a secure password... then you can use the "unable to view secure web sites" steps in this document to "reset" secure connections:

Multiple Digital Signatures - each signer enters their comments then signs

Background / Problem: I currently have a Microsoft Word Document I print out (multiple pages). Everyone reads the first page, puts their comments in their section, then signs under their comments. The same group of papers (2-3 pages) gets signed by 7 people. After I chase everyone down to add their comments and sign the paper, I then file it into a massive file cabinet.
I am considering buying Adobe Acrobat very shortly (if this can solve the problem). I would like to convert the two or three page document I normally print out into a PDF file. I would like for someone to add a comment in their comment box, sign the document and save it. The next person will then add their comment sign it and save it. How do I do this and what version of Acrobat do I need (if acrobat can do this)?

Yes, you can do that in Acrobat. Keep in mind that each user will sign the complete document (all pages with his/her comments on the first, second, whatever page). but the document will contain all signatures. You can design the document so that the signatures will appear on the pages where you want them to be. It is just that each signature will cover the complete document content which is what you want.
You can save the original PDF as Reader-Extended which will allow your user to sign in in Reader. You do not need to buy a separate copy of Acrobat for all of them.

Connection Wizard requires to enter user ID and password on every login

Hello,
We just started using SAP BPC 5.1 When connecting to a server Connection Wizard requires every user to input user ID and password. "Use My Microsoft Windows user ID and password" is grayed out.
Have anybody experienced this problem before? Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Roman

If you woudl like to avoid to insert every time user and password you have to do follow actions:
1. Into BPC application server you have to open server manager
Options - Client Options and on that window you have to uncheck the button Enable Server to Sarbane-Oxley compliant
2. If the installation server was done with FQDN (fully qualified domain name ) or with IP instead to use short name for server then you have to add into internet explorer of client the site:
http://nameofbpcserver into trusted sites.
Open internet explorer
- tools - internet Options
Tab Security
Select Trusted Sites
Select button "Sites"
Uncheck button: "Require server verification (https)..."
type into entry field http://nameofyourbpcserver" and add
In this way you will have the option to use windows authentication enabled.

Form Size issue with multiple Digital Signatures

I have created a form (liveCycle 8) with multiple digital signatures required. When each user signs the form, that section of the form is locked using collections. The form is workflow through email after each user signs it. Each time the user signs and forwards the form, the form's size becomes too large.
How can the form be optimized to compress each time an users signs the form?
Thank you,
Lori

Steve,
After your request to post the form, I wanted to removal some company items like the Logo. Once I removed the Logo, I found the biggest issue was a Logo image size that was making the file so large. Once I reduced the image size, the signatures only added 46kb at each signature level.
Thank you for your help,
Lori

SharePoint 2010 Collect Signatures workflow - no digital signatures?

Hello, I configured a "Collect Signatures" workflow for the content type "Document", then uploaded a MS Word 2010 (.docx) document as content type "Document". This Word document as 2 empty Signature Line in it.
I then start the workflow, basically 2-stage with 2 person from my Active Directory. However, what I found is that when I go to my workflow task and click on the "This document requires your signature" link, it pops up a "Workflow Task" box in the
browser. There is a "Sign" button which I can click to sign but it does not sign on the signature lines inside my Word document.
What am I doing wrong here? Or does SharePoint 2010 Collect Signatures workflow no longer work with digital sigantures? Thanks.

Hello ,
We have chceked by setting up a repro at our end and its not possible to complete the workflow without opening the document . Also below are some additional findings that I have and would like to share :-
1) In Office 2007 (Word and Excel) you can click on the office button from the respective application while you have the concerned document open in it. This triggers the collect digital signature workflow and the users signs
it immediately as he can see the popup on the screen. Still he has to go to the task list to complete the task which I would say is a manual process following the workflow task is 100% completed.
2) In SPS2010 with Office 2010 we do not have an option to trigger the workflows from within the Office document. Instead you directly go to task list to open the task and click on sign button to complete the task. Here you
still need to open the document again and digitally sign it. The difference is workflow here is not triggered in Office document. Even here it is a kind of manual process except that you don’t see a popup to sign document immediately from Office document
due to the fact that workflow is triggered from SharePoint task list.
Thanks,
Manas

Web Services with Digital Signature?

Hello,
I spoke to Adobe yesterday regarding using web services to submit forms, but our forms need to have a digital signature in them. He said (not a quote, just a recap here) while technically possible, it will be difficult since we would need to deserialize the document.
So, has anyone accomplished this? Is there a QPAC out there that can already handle this?
Thank you,
Jennifer

Hello Chris,
I really am in unfamiliar ground here, so if a servlet works, then great (of course I have no clue how to do that...).
Basically we need to have a form out on a website so that people can submit this form with a digital signature. We do have Form Manager, but right now cannot use it since the Form Manager requires AD/LDAP accounts. Considering that our form is a request for a USER ACCOUNT, we are stuck :D I thought the web services may have been our answer, but then it was looking like we couldn't use it because of our digital signature requirement.
The only reason I wanted to try to make this fit back into the workflow is for after the fact processing done by admins (who will definitely have a LC account). I figured an admin could trigger the workflow by sending the user (no LC account) an email with the URL to the pdf form - I assumed this could be done with some type of init form. The 2 different possible scenarios:
1. The user gets the email, fills the form and signs it and then provides the email address to the next user (again, no LC account) to fill and sign and then to a third user without an LC account to fill and sign and then if we could hook back into the work flow from there so that the admin could basically "check off" that their account was created which would then send an intro email to the user with their account info and other message.
2. Within the Init Form we provide the supervisor and security manager email addresses, so that when the first user submits the form, it automatically sends an email to their Supervisor (assuming we need to hook back into the workflow). And then eventuall we get to the "check off" part and go on our way.
After these three people sign the form, believe it or not, we need TWO (possible 4) more signatures. These people will have LC accounts.
Overall, I need to keep the form intact with the digital signatures so we can store the form. Would the HTTP Post submit to a servlet accomplish this? If so, where can I read up on this further?
Regarding the form storage, I originally thought this would be stored for viewing through Form Manager, but Adobe Support indicated that the admin would have to actually upload this filled out form through adminui, so this just sounded like a mess to me. I was hoping to have something where the admins could search for submitted forms as needed.
I hope this is all making sense. We spent so much money on this product and it's looking like we cannot use it now because of 1. requirement of an AD/LDAP account to use Form Manager and 2. if we don't use Form Manager, it looks like we cannot utilize web services due to our requirement of a digital signature.
I just need to get this form online and ideally, get it hooked back into the workflow somehow with keeping the digital signature in tact.
Another question - What if we received the form via email with the first three parts filled out (data + digital signatures from the non-LC account holders). Can we get this form submitted into the workflow then to utilize Form Manager?
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Multiple Digital Signatures (certificates) results in VERY slow PDF

I created a form in Lifecycle that typically has 8 signatures. As more signatures are added the form slows down significantly. Our director, who ultimately signs off on the document, has informed us that it took him 35+ minutes to approve 3 documents. The forms are on a network drive. I had read some old threads that mentioned this issue was being investigated and the newer versions of Acrobat should help speed up this process. We are currently running Acrobat X 10.1.4. Any suggestions as to what might be slowing things down? I know the digital signatures require validating and expect it to slow things down a bit but 11+ minutes is probably more than it should be. Thanks

Hi,
Just out of curiousity, if the form has been Reader Enabled, and, if the director could download the free Adobe Reader v11 from the Adobe web site, and he signs the file using version 11, is the signing process faster? It should be much faster in version 11 because we fixed the recursive validation issue that made dealing with multiple signatures so slow.
If you're interested in the nuts and bolts read on, but if not I'll understand...
The way signature validation use to work is Acrobat (and Reader as well because because the signature creation and validation mechanisms are the same in both) would start to validate signature number 8 right after the signature was created (it needs to do the validation so it knows whether or not to put the green check mark next to the signature). As part of the validation process it would need to re-validate each previous signature (and this is where things start to get weird). In order to validate signature 7 it has to also validate all previous signatures (6 thru 1) and every time it validates a new signature it has to do all of the previous signatures. Each signature would get validated as many times as it was part of the revision list. That is, signature 1 got validated eight times, signature 2 seven times and so on.
Begining with version 11 (or XI as it says in the product) we stopped all of the recursive validation and just do each signature once which makes the signature validation process much quicker. I'm always looking for real world examples, and if you can test it with Reader XI I'd appreciate knowing the results.
Thanks,
Steve

Possible to validate data entries during Digital Signature?

I have a form that was built from scratch using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2. (WinXP)
I see numerous articles online related to validating user input prior to data submission for an online form via a Submit button, however, I am trying to figure out how to implement the same sort of data validation during the signing of a particular digital signature field in an offline pdf form. Simply, I want to perform data validation during a digital signature instead of when user presses Submit button.
Here's my use-case:
1. Form Originator fills out a large number of data fields and signs form via a CAC cert.
2. Another person will review, possibly edit/add data, and sign another signature block with CAC.
3. Then there is one more final CAC signature on the form before it is completed and then emailed to the right folks for processing.
4. I would like to be able to enforce the population of several Mandatory data fields (at least one Radio button and one text input, possibly others) before the 3rd signature can be applied to the document.
Again, I need to emphasize this is all happening in an offline form, no data submission or database back-end. Also, everything with the digital signatures (and locking up fields afterword) works totally fine, just interested in adding Data Validation capability during Digital Signature.
I am in no way a javascript expert, but I can probably learn from a good example. Any help or guidance is very much appreciated. Thanks...

If you are using SignatureField in the form then you will get two events preSign and postSign which you can use to validate the field input just like you do with a Submit button.
Thanks

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.

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.

Variable number of required digital signatures

Hi,
I have following problem: I have a document type wich requires a variable type of digital signatures bevore it is released. Who has to check the document depends on its content.
1st Question: Is there a way to define wich user has to sign the document (at moment we just define that one user with the right authorization has to sign, but not exactly who).
2nd Question: Is there a way to define a status wich requires defined signatures (more than one) before it switches to the next status?
The signature process should look like this: After the document is created the creator defines who has tho check it. Then he sets it to status "to be checked". As long as not all of the required users has signed it stays in this status. When all rewuired users have signed status changes to "released".
Every answer is helpfull.

For question 1, we normally have a classification field with the approver listed in it (used for workflow as well). When the user attempts to execute a digital signature we normally add an enhancement to check that its the same user listed in the approver field.
For question 2, there are a couple of alternatives, but we normally handle this with workflow or abap for multiple approvers. We make the approver field in classification a multiple entry field and then use either workflow or abap to kick the document back to the previous status so that if there is more than one approver, each approver has the ability to set the same status. The enhancement also keeps tabs on who has signed the document and once all the approvers have signed we kick it over to the final status.
This same process can be used for multiple entries on both a reviewer and approver field (if you require review and approver otherwise you can just use approval) and allows you to use this process for both review and approval. For example, you could use a status network that goes:
In Work - For Review - Reviewed - For Approval - Approved - Released.
In the process of approval, the approver would set the "approved" status whilst the system would reset it back to "for approval" and only once the last person had approved it would automatically set the released status. The trick using this method is to ensure that the work items are not regenerated every time it sets it back to "for approval" so there is some logic required for your workflow consultant.
The review process would be exactly the same with the exception that the system would automatically kick it over from "reviewed" to "for approval" or whatever you next status might be.
