Digital signature client

Digital Signature Clients help you sign documents to OpenKM quickly using an electronic digital signature.

In the file, “%USER_LOCAL_DOCUMENT_FOLDER%/OpenKM/openkm.xml” the OpenKM connection data are stored. The password is encrypted.

The Digital Signature Client uses Microsoft Digital Certificate stores.
