Hi,

I found in the Wiki (yes, I know it's deprecated) an information that OpenKm has or had an option for server side document signing (https://www.openkm.com/wiki/index.php/Digital_Signature). Does that option still exist, and if so, how do I enable/setup it?

If the server-side signing is not available, what would be another option? In the community edition the only option I found is to use the client-side software (version 1.0.2), but it does not pull the documents. I would have to manually download each document, and re-upload to sign them.

I'm using CE version 6.3.6, build 87d181f, running in an Ubuntu 18.4 VM with 4GB RAM.

Thanks,

Roberto

First of all, documentation in the wiki is deprecated and you should use http://docs.openkm.com
Digital signature based on java applet is deprecated and no longer exists ( applets are deprecated an not supported by browsers ). We recommend using the OpenKM windows signature client, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNIskRk5VCY

In the latest version, the client is able to sign and upload files and also sign existing files from OpenKM repository ( using the search feature ). I do not remember if the feature of signing existing OpenKM files has been also released into community version, but in professional version sure exists.

Also, we have done some customization for signing from UI and might be integrated signature server with OpenKM. In the second case, the user uses a remote service where has stored his certificate for signing ( it needs extra software configuration and integration for it ).

As I mentioned, I know the wiki is deprecated. I mentioned it because there was information about a previously existing option (server side signing).

No, the community version does not have that option.

About this remote service for signing, is there any documentation available?

Tks,

Not exist documentation about it, because most of them are customization made for customers.
