Set up an organization seal

With a seal, actaSIGN marks documents in the name of your organization, not in the name of a person. You store the seal once and assign it to the members who may seal with it.

For administrators only

You need administrator rights for the organization.

Where to find it

Administration → Seals

Tip

A seal needs a seal certificate from Swisscom (Swisscom AIS) for your organization: the claimed identity, the X.509 certificate and the private key. You get these details from Swisscom, not from actaSIGN.

Add a seal

1. Click Add seal and fill in the details of the seal: Display name, Organization name, Jurisdiction (ZertES or eIDAS), Seal type (Qualified / regulated or Advanced), and optionally Organization unit, Locality, Country and Notes.
2. Under Swisscom AIS credentials: Claimed identity, X.509 PEM certificate and PKCS#8 PEM private key. The values are stored encrypted and never shown again.
3. collever trust (optional): only fill this in if support has given you details for it.
4. Click Create seal.

Assign the seal to members

1. Under Member assignments, choose the Seal and the Member.
2. Click Assign.
3. If a member has several seals, use Make default to set which one is suggested. Remove takes back the assignment.

Good to know

• actaSIGN reads the Swisscom AIS base URL from the existing configuration; you do not need to enter it.
• When editing, the credentials are kept if you leave the fields empty. Fill in all three to replace them.
• Deactivate takes a seal out of service without deleting it.
• actaSIGN does not hand over tasks with a seal to a deputy during an absence (Absence).
