Login

After downloading the SigningHub package for on-premises deployment, use the SigningHub installation guide to install it. Once the installation is complete, an administrator can log into SigningHub Admin by using their SSL Client Authentication certificate.

Follow the steps below to log in:

1. A default PFX file (certificate) is included in the SigningHub package for administrator login. Install the PFX file to import it into your local keystore.

2. Browse the SigningHub Admin URL and port number in your web browser as per the IIS configuration.

1. You cannot log in to SigningHub Admin without the PFX file (certificate).

2. When you install the PFX file, it will be imported into the MSCAPI keystore from where it can be accessed through Internet Explorer and Chrome browsers. For other web browsers, manually import it into the respective browser's keystore.

3. To ensure a secure login, it is recommended to use your personal certificate for Admin login after first logging in through a default certificate. See details on how to configure a personal certificate in an administrator profile.
