Descriptor overview
The engine’s descriptors are the following:
...
Each descriptor is described in detail in the sections below, including requirements how it shall be bootstrapped.
Certain descriptors are used for optional features. If a certain feature (for example email signing) is not used in a given deployment, then you may configure the descriptor in question with a placeholder. Any PKCS#12 file containing a self-signed keypair will be sufficient in this case.

Placeholder allowed only if history verification is disabled (via
activitiHistoryCleanerJobTrigger.cronExpressionset to a date in the distant future. See List of Identity Manager system properties and Quartz CronTrigger tutorial for more information)Integrity of history signature would be as risk
Re-signing requires use of the batch_re-sign_history tool once the first history entry is created
If you plan on enabling it at a later date, it is recommended not to use a placeholder

Use case
Send signed e-mails emails from IDM
Required
When e-mail email signing is configured
Configured in the following application
...
Placeholders allowed only if email signing is not used
Email verification will fail if not issued by a trusted S/MIME CA
Integrity of e-mails emails sent by IDM may be at risk if placeholder key is used
...
Proper S/MIME certificate with configured IDM e-mail email sender address in DN's E field and/or SAN RFC-822 entry
If subject DN email field is absent, SAN extension must be critical
Note: broken Broken support for DN.E was is fixed in IDM 245.0.0.R1
must not be self-signed
Key usage:
If present, must be critical and at least either digitalSignature or nonRepudiationValidity:

Verify Certification Signing Requests (CSR) from Smart ID Mobile/Smart ID Desktop App.
Optionally limit profile provisioning with Smart ID Mobile/Smart ID Desktop App to certain devices, for example company devices. This can be done by using Mobile/Desktop apps with custom private keys and configuring the corresponding public keys into in Identity Manager (by default Identity Manager includes certificates for the built-in keys of any Mobile and Desktop App installation)
