View/Update/Revoke Signing Certificates of an Account

A signing certificate is used in conjunction with its alias to sign a document. The ownership of a certificate alias can either be protected by SigningHub, or a user may own their certificate and protect it with a password. In case a user has configured multiple signing capacities, then each signing capacity will have a unique certificate alias. From here, you can view, update, and revoke the existing certificates and aliases of the user. Updating an existing certificate alias is useful when a SigningHub user does not want to use their default certificate, and is interested in using their personal (any 3rd party signing) certificate for signing through the SigningHub web.
