Frequently Asked Questions

How do I request a Test Account?

Kindly contact our sales team or reach out to your Account Manager for a Atlas test account.

Certificate Renewal - Change Information

Kindly contact Vetting or Support team in order to change information.

Document Signing Expiration Time

In DSS, identity needs to be stored and reused for 10 minutes only. It's recommended to use LTV while using DSS.

If Signature on PDF has Long Term Validation (LTV) enabled, the signature remains valid, and there is no issue with validity being for 10 minutes only.  If LTV is not enabled, the signature will only be valid while the certificate is valid; for DSS, that is 10 minutes.

API Credential Error | 500 - Server Error

The error HTTP 500 occurs because an identity does not have the common name entry.

We would recommend customers create a new identity (with Common Name) which can be approved by vetting. The API can then be generated without any issues.

Please contact Support even if you require further assistance.

Unable to generate API Credential

1. Please make sure you have selected the same Common Name i.e.,  Organisation Seal or Individual Signature, while generating an identity as well as a service. 

2. If you are using trial services, make sure to link the auto-vetted identity with the trial service in order to generate the API credential to avoid errors in API generation.
3. Please generate the API again and make sure to link it with the right service.
   Note: You may use a different valid identity.
