Credentials for Document Certification and Digital Signatures 

You obtain your credentials and the corresponding public keys (as part of a certificate) for certifying and signing from a Certification Authority (CA). You need to install the credential as described below.

To apply a server-side certification or a server-side digital signature to a PDF document, the document must be signed with a credential. The credential is therefore unique. The following table gives you an overview of all credentials.

Types of Credentials

Credential is Used for:	Default Alias of the Credential
Digital Signatures	ServerSignature
Certification	DocumentCertification
Reader Rights	ReaderRights

 

You should use the alias for the credential. If you need to install more than one credential on your system, use the default alias for the default credential and any other alias for additional credentials. SAP applications certifying a PDF document must specify the name of the credential; otherwise, the default credential is used.

For more information about digital signatures and certification of Interactive Forms see the SAP Library under: SAP Netweaver Library → SAP NetWeaver by Key Capability → Application Platform by Key Capability  → Business Services → SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe.

Public Keys and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs)

If you are using credentials in addition to the Reader Rights credential from Adobe, you will also need to install and configure Trusted Anchors and CRLs. For more information, see Trusted Anchors and Certificate Revocation Lists.
