Manage certificate filters

SigningHub enables you to create certificate filters that could strain specific signing certificates for your enterprise users. This is useful when client side (local) signing is configured, and multiple certificates (software key, USB token/ SmartCard) are expected to appear at the time of signing. Hence, to make the certificate selection easy for the enterprise users, system will only show the required certificate(s) by processing these filters. In this way, an enterprise admin can restrict their enterprise users to use only those certificates for signing, which could pass the defined certificate filters criteria. You can manage (Add, Update, and Delete) these certificate filters as required.
