Error loading .P12 certificate in Keystore

Hi,

The digital signature functionality for PDF files is severely limited on IFS Cloud, are you aware of that? Documents can only be signed using the certificate connected to the user used by IFS Connect. This should be documented in the release notes since IFS Cloud 21R1.

It's also very different from our E-signature functionality (integrating with Adobe Acrobat Sign) that was released in 23R2.

Hi ​@E.Mamcasz 

The error could be due to the certificate content. Is it self signed or generated from a certificate authority?

In order to check if the certificate import functionality working, you can create a new certificate using OpenSSL and try to import.

I use below commands to generate a certificate which could successfully import to keystore

>openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout ifs_key.pem -out ifs_cert.crt -sha256 -days 365>openssl pkcs12 -inkey ifs_key.pem -in ifs_cert.crt -export -out ifs_cert_pfx.pfx

If the generated file can import successfully, compare the file content format with your certificate and see if there are any differences.

Even though the certificate import is a success, make sure if the digital signature functionality can be used as you intended according to ​@Mathias Dahl ‘s comment

Hope it helps!

Hello Mathias,

Yes, after I opened the topic I found a lot of information and I am aware that they are two different functionalities. The one that meets the Client's requiriments is the first one, but we have this error occurring. I have already identified alternatives here in the Community to show the User who signs in addition to IFSCONNECT, but we are still testing before presenting it to the Customer.

Hello DSJ,

Thank you for your information. We will evaluate and teste your suggestion with technical support.
