Digital Signature in SAP DMS

[Former Member]

Hello,

We want to implement digital signatures in SAP DMS, but we're not sure on how to accomplish it. We have the following scenario:

1. All the users have a digital certificate which is part of the Portuguese ID card;

2. Currently we're all using this certificate to digitally sign e-mails (they use their laptops integrated card reader), for example;

3. We also want to use this certificate to sign DMS documents.

Do you think the above mentioned scenario is possible without licensing additional software? If so, can you guide me through the customization steps?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Ricardo

Hi Ricardo,

It is quite possible to achieve your requirements using the digital signature strategy available in SAP DMS. I have previoulsy answered the steps involved [here|; and you may additionally look up [Wiki|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Digitalsignaturein+DMS] and [SAP Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/9f/857f3a1c7b11d294d200a0c92f024a/frameset.htm] as well.

In your case,more specifically,you need to adopt the signature method during customization as 'User signature with external security product with/without verification' for which your I-Card reader would also be required.
