  • Off (Default) - Use all certificates that are available on your computer. To view all available certificates, go to the Windows User Certificate Manager.

  • On - Use only certificates that are available in the profiles in Smart ID Desktop App.

General behavior

Always remove encryption certificate:

• Keep (Default) - will keep encryption certificates.

• Remove - will automatically remove encryption certificates used for protecting P12 certificates during enrollment and installation.
