Preconditions for Electronic Signature

Before users can sign sequences electronically, the following conditions must be met:

1. Create a CmUser database, if one has not already been created (see  Creating a Cmuser Database).

2. Enable User Mode: Open the Security Activation Tool (CmSecure program) and click Enable User Mode.

3. After enabling User Mode, complete the following tasks:

• Specify the general settings for electronic signature in the CmUser database (see  Signature Settings in the CmUser Database).

• Create the individual users and assign them a signature password (see  Creating Users with Signature Password).

• Assign the privileges in the User Manager (CmUser program; see  Privileges for Electronic Signature)

• Make the corresponding settings in the sequence (see  Settings in the Sequence).

 Notes:

Electronic Signature is available only for user databases that were created with a User Manager (CmUser program) version 6.10 or higher. Update your database if an error message notifies you that electronic signature will not be possible.

If you want to submit a sequence using an RDF file that is outside the sequence ("external" RDF file), the CopyRDF privilege is needed.

If you want to submit a sequence using an external RDF file, but the sequence already contains an RDF file with the same name, the DeleteRDF privilege is needed.
