Entering a Digital Signature (SAP Library - Sample Management (QM-IM-SM))

Entering a Digital Signature

Prerequisites

You have selected a function that requires a digital signature. As a result, the Digital signature dialog box appears.

Procedure

If necessary, enter a comment in the text field.

If you want to use the user signature as the signature method, make sure that the system can access your Personal Security Environment (PSE).

The procedure is dependent on your security product. For example, if you work with a smartcard reader, you enter your smartcard in the card reader.

Enter your user name and password in the dialog box for the digital signature.
Choose Continue.

The system checks whether:

You are authorized to enter a digital signature.

Your entries correspond to the data in your user master record.
Your entries for the user signature correspond to the data in your PSE.

Depending on the result of the check, processing continues as follows:

If your entries are invalid or the system cannot access your PSE, the dialog box appears again and you can re-enter your signature (step 3).

The function is canceled after a number of attempts. This number is defined by the user. Your user is locked for the digital signature and for the renewed system logon with the system signature.

If your entries are correct, the chosen function is performed.

Save the data.
