Ladies and Gents,

Everytime a user (specifically with a laptop!) opens my form, they are asked to insert a smart card.

My form includes a digital signature and a certificate.  The form itself is set to FULL trust.

Can anyone advise how I get rid of this prompt when the form opens??

 

Thanks for any help

James

Hello James,

 Were you ever able to resolve this issue with the "insert smart card"?

I am having the same problem - form set to Full trust - and haven't been able to fix.

 Thanks,

Jen

Hi Jen,

 

Sorry for the lateness of my reply.

Myself and my colleague (who is also developing some forms) had the error during testing with other users.  It seemed to occur only for users with laptops!

We solved the problem by generating a new certificate on a certificate server that is inside our domain and applying this to the form. 

I hope this helps you.

James

Thanks for your help James. 

Cheers,

Jen

Hi James,

Could you please post instruction on how to generate the certificate inside the domain and applying it to the form? I have tried it but did't work for me.

Thanks

Is there anyone out there that can point me in the right direction for how to generate a new certificate on a certificate server and what all the details around that are?  I haven't been successful in finding a solution to this smart card issue.  Every post I find points back to this one which is left open ended. 

We've had a form in use for a few years now without any problems and now that we're starting to introduce windows 7 computers into our environment, some users are getting this popup and they don't have laptops.  I'm currently on windows 7 and since I'm the author of the certificate, I do not receive a smart card popup.  The person that's getting this popup does not have a laptop, they have a desktop and the certificate was generated from a desktop pc.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I found a solution that I thought I would post here. It gets rid of the smart card popup but I'd still like someone to point me in the right direction when it comes to storing a certificate on a certificate server. For the smart card pop up, if you don't have a smart card, you need to go into your services (start>control panel>administrative tools>services) and stop the smart card service, then set the startup type to manual or disabled. That removed the smart card pop up for my users that have just recently upgraded to windows 7. Hope this helps!
