Limitaions of SAP Digital Signature...!!!!!!!!

Dera Gurus!
Kindly enlighten me on SAP limitations for Digital Signature implementation.
Are there any avenues in Sales and Distribution processes other than billing where digital signature could be useful (any internal or external process during order to cash or procure to pay cycle)?

Hello,
Please refer the below links on SAP Digital signature concepts and update this thread based on the inputs provided...

  • SAP Digital signature solution in Invoice output PDF document

    Hi,
    We are trying to POC SAP Digital signature solution for Invoice output pdf document based on the OSS note 700495 implemengtation guide.
    - Defining the log structure and database table.
    - Defining signature single step and authorization group and assignment.
    - Completed the configuration steps including system signature with authorization by SAP user id and password.
    - Release strategy and Archiving NOT implemented for this solution as they are not required as of now.
    Checked the above settings using DSIG_BOOKING_EX sample program and the same executed successfully without any errors and we can see the result 'Signature process was successfully completed by user XXXXXX'. Also we can view the signature log in DSAL Transaction.
    Similar to the sample program code, Implemented the signature call in user exit ZXMCVU05(EXIT_SAPLMCS6_001) for Invoice output digital signature during VF01 create transaction.
    In the process signature call processed successfully but the output PDF document does not have any signature.
    Please let me know why digital signature NOT applied to invoice output pdf file. Is there any other process that need to be done?
    Also if you have implemented any similar solution, please provide me the details on the same.
    Thanks!

    Ritwika,
    Are the User Name and Password correct?  Is the User assigned to the SAP_XMII_User role in Netweaver?  On the iCommand's Security screen, is the SAP_XMII_User assigned as a Reader role?
    Have you checked the Netweaver log?  There may be more detailed information there.
    Kind Regards,

  • Digital Signature in RFx

    Hi all,
    I am trying to activate Digital Signature functionality when publishing a RFx.
    I am new to this functionality, so please give some help.
    So far, when I publish the RFx, the system goes to a window SAP Digital Signature, where a PDF form of the RFx is shown and I select the digital signature I wish to use.
    After clicking in Sign button, the system goes to the RFx screen.
    My questions are:
    1- How do I know that the RFx is signed?
    2- What is signed? The PDF form? Or the RFx document in SRM?
    Thank in advance for your help!

  • 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 in SAP

    Any idea whether electronic signatures are supported in SAP and if yes what types of signature, what standards are used, whether they are legally accepted and whether it is part of the package or a separate application. 
    whether the processes can support multiple signatures at multiple stages, signifying different levels of approval? how electronic signatures are recorded and retained and how the process or document remains fixed once signed. Any inputs on this would be helpful

    Hi,
    yes digital signatures are possible.You can search SDn for a lot of options.One such is:

    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.

  • Implement Digital signatures in adobe using sap

    how do i implement digital signatures in adobe using sap web dynpro netweaver and abap for backend? if you can provide some documents or links that can help for the same.

    Hello,
    You can add digital signatures and/or encryption to the document going out of the SAP system.
    To add a signature from WDA you can use the PDFObject API.

  • Digital signatures on SAP

    Is there a way that digital signatures can be uploaded on SAP and that it can be encrypted so that it cannot be copied by anyone.

    Thanks Garry,
    I will surely wait for your further reply to get me the process of your 'open password' method. Can you help me in providing any link for guidance on compliance of SAP B1 with FDR 21 CFR part 11. I found some documents on sdn but they are for mySAP ERP and different modules of R/3. I didn't find any guide on B1 compliance with CFR part11.
    Any reply from all users regarding my question is highly appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Digital signature in SAP Records Management (SAP Netweaver Folders Manager)

    Hi experts,
    I have a record with various documents and I want to implement digital signature in documents (Transaction: ORGANIZER). I read in IPS640 SAP Manual that there are a button (key symbol) to do this but I don't have this button. Can you explain me how to implement this?
    A lot of thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi JV,
    You need to define the repository in OAC0 transaction. As per my analysis now your document are stored in sap database.
    If you are using separate serever then confuigure as follows in OAC0:
    Document area : SAP Records Management
    Storgae type : RFC Archive
    define IP address and port. Then goto CSADMIN and activate the certificate for the same.
    or if using SAP Database then make the changes in above areas.
    Then these archived documents will get saved in content server instead of sap database.
    Hope this will help.

    Hi Reddy,
    What I did was a image signature. Scan the signature into a image file, upload it to system via transaction code SE78.
    Call the image to be printed on your form with the below code

    Is this applicable to you?

  • Digital Signature in SAP DMS

    Hello,
    We want to implement digital signatures in SAP DMS, but we're not sure on how to accomplish it. We have the following scenario:
    1. All the users have a digital certificate which is part of the Portuguese ID card;
    2. Currently we're all using this certificate to digitally sign e-mails (they use their laptops integrated card reader), for example;
    3. We also want to use this certificate to sign DMS documents.
    Do you think the above mentioned scenario is possible without licensing additional software? If so, can you guide me through the customization steps?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Ricardo

    Hi Ricardo,
    It is quite possible to achieve your requirements using the digital signature strategy available in SAP DMS. I have previoulsy answered the steps involved [here|Digital Signature on Original File; and you may additionally look up [Wiki|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Digitalsignaturein+DMS] and [SAP Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/9f/857f3a1c7b11d294d200a0c92f024a/frameset.htm] as well.
    In your case,more specifically,you need to adopt the signature method during customization as 'User signature with external security product with/without verification' for which your I-Card reader would also be required.

    Hello
    Signature by scanned image is possible, you can create a function to do it. please note: images must be inside the reports, and hide them with a CR function.
    For certificate based sigbature of CR is not possible, you must develop an addon for that which is do this functionality.
