Why is email address required for digital sig?

Hi, all.  Thanks, in advance, for any help :-)
We have created an application in LiveCycle and have incorporated digital signatures to allow applicants to sign the various forms within the application, including W-4 and I-9.  Here is the next question....
By default, the digital signature cannot be created without entering an email address.  The problem there, is that we have some applicants who do not have an email address (yes, there are still humans on the planet who don't have an email address :-).  Is there a way to get around this?  That can't be the only legally valid personal information that can be used to create a digital sig?  Can we offer an option if they don't have an email address?  We don't want to instruct them to enter bogus information.
Thanks,
Michelle

When Acrobat is used to create a digital certificate, it is creating a self-signed certificate that conforms to the X509 certificate standard.  I haven't read the X509 spec from start to finish, but I would assue that the standard dictates that the e-mail (which is part of the "Subject" section of a certificate) is mandatory.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509 for a bit more info on digital certificates
As for your statement "That can't be the only legally valid personal information that can be used to create a digital sig?", I don't believe there is anything legally binding or valid about a self-signed certificate as anyone can create one with any information they want.

  • Email address required for guest access

    We have a guest network with a customized web page right now. When the user connects, it asks for their name and logs it to a RADIUS server. However, the user can leave this field blank and press enter to gain access. Is there some way to force a user to enter their name into this page before access can be granted? We don't want to enter a username for each user because there are too many. I found this page and this is what we want to happen (I can't figure out how to do it).

    We would like a page like this, but the user MUST enter a name or email before proceeding. No password is required. Down the road, we will attempt to verify the email that they enter, however we are not worried about that now.
    Thanks

    This is how we have it setup. However, they don't have to enter anything, the entry field can be blank and they can still be granted access. All we want is for them to enter something in this field before they are allowed on.

  • TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

  • I have a new email address and updated it with my apple id/icloud and updated on my iPhone, but i'm getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.

    I have a new email address and updated my apple id/icloud  with the new address. I updated on my iPhone, but i'm keep getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.  How do I get it to go away?

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • Can i add a second email address to adobe digital edition account

    can i add a second email address to adobe digital editions?

    If you mean you want to add a second email address to the Mac Mail app:
    Open Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Click the plus sign and enter the information
    If you mean you want to add an alias to your iCloud mail account:
    Go to https://www.icloud.com > sign in > Mail > Click the Gear on top right > Preferences > Accounts > Add an Alias (on bottom left)

  • I have created a new (alias) email address specifically for general emails (shopping, etc). I was expecting it to pop up in Mail, Inbox next to my existing .mac account. It's not there so where do I find it?

    Aliases are merely another address within the same account, you won't see additional groups of settings for them. You should however see them as an option in the pull down "From" menu when you create an email.

  • Email address used for registration deleted

    We purchased adobe acrobate pro 10 a couple of years ago. My secretary registered the software from her email address. She has since left the company and her address has been deleted. I have a new computer and can't download the software because the email address used for registration no longer valid! I have the serial numbers and license certificate. Can anyone help me.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    I am not sure what your organization arrangements are but I would think you could recreate the email address so that it can be used.  I know that I can create subaccounts for my own email service.
    Aside from that, you might be able to download the trial version of the software directly thru the site linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

    Yes, if you change your Apple ID to your new email address. You don't have to. Under those sort of situations you can speak to Apple about transferring your purchased items to the new Apple ID, and see if they will help you.
    You don't lose access to your older purchased items, you simply cannot update or re-download them or, in some cases, use them without providing the old Apple ID and password. All purchased items are permanently tied to the Apple ID used at time of purchase.

  • HT4436 how do i setup a new email address/account for another family member in icloud

    how do i setup a new email address/account for another family member in icloud?

    They will need to get their own Apple ID - go to http://appleid.apple.com to set up a new one. You will need a different non-Apple email address from any already in use.
    Then they will need a separate user account on the Mac, or their own computer. You can then set up the account and add an @icloud.com email address in System Preferences>iCloud.
    Although you could set up an alias address on your own account, I should advise against this - once created you cannot detach an alias from the account so they wouldn't be able to move it to their own account at a later date and their email would be inextricably linked with yours.

  • Registered email address on abode digital editions

    Hi, I have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions but it has automatically registered with the incorrect email addres to what my adobe account is under. Does anyone know how to change the authorised email address in adobe digital editions? i have uninstall the program and downloaded it again but still doesnt change it.
    thanks

    You might mean one of two things.
    1 ~~~~
    You want to keep the same Adobe account/ID, but change the email associated with it.
    Log in at the Adobe website and go to My Preferences (dropdown under your name at top right)
    You shouldn't need to change ADE (Digital Editions).
    It should stay associated with the same account, and will (eventually) show the new email when you query the account.
    2 ~~~
    You want to change to a different Adobe account/ID.
    Remember if you do this you will no longer have access to books that were authorized under the old account.
    You need to deauthorize first, using the secret hidden command ctrl-shift-D (cmd-shift-D on a Mac).
    Then authorize with the new account, menu/Help/Authorize Computer (Library/Authorize Computer on older more reliable v1.7.2)

  • I need to know how to change the identity (email address) used for the iTunes store as I no longer use that email

    I need to know how to change the identity (email address) used for the iTunes store as I no longer use that email.

    Settings > iTunes & App store.
    Tap AppleID, sign out then sign back in.
    The Apple ID is right everywhere else. I've synced the phone. I've reset it in Settings on the phone. I've changed it at Apple.
    When you write, "I've changed it at Apple, this means you updated yoru old AppleID or you ceated a new AppleID?

  • Why doesn't my email address work for apps

    Why doesn't my email address work on my envy printer?

    You don't give us anything like enough data to go on. What is your operating system? Do you have a functioning iCloud account - i.e. are you signed in in System Preferences>iCloud?
    Were you originally a MobileMe subscriber? If so, did you migrate to iCloud?
    Was your email still working recently? Do you get any error messages? What happens when you try to use it?
    Have you been using an @icloud.com address or an @me.com address?
    (Please do not post your email address when answering.)
