Signing within Smart ID Certificate Manager (CM) is used to confirm that the task being performed is complete and the information is correct. Once the task is signed, the task cannot be undone.
The signed task is logged for traceability and the identity of the signer or signers is taken from their digital signature certificates and included in the log information.
These signing methods are described below:
- Single step signing - If you have access to two separate officers with enough access rights, the complete signing can be done immediately.
- Two step signing - If you do not have access to a second officer, it is possible to divide the signing in to two steps. This makes it possible for the officers to add their signatures from separate computers and at different points in time.
The tasks are done in Administrator's workbench (AWB) in Certificate Manager (AWB).

The two step signing requires the user or users to have access to two different officers with sufficient access rights, although not necessarily at the same time or place. After the first signature has been made, a modified version of the AWB object will be visible as a child node under the original object. Both the modified and original version of the object gets a different icon indicating that a two step signing has been started. When the Signature dialog box appears, do the following:
The signing returns you to the AWB window. If nothing was changed on the partially signed object, the original version of the object will be updated with the changes and the partially signed version will disappear.

Since a partially signed object only is signed by one officer, it is also possible to delete it with only one signer.
The signing returns you to the AWB window where the partially signed object has been removed. |
