Identifying the issuer

To understand which issuer you should choose, please refer to the email you have received during the purchase.

In case of Namirial remote certificates, you should have received an email from no-reply@namirial.com, the subject should look like EMISSIONE DISPOSITIVO DI FIRMA DIGITALE / ISSUANCE OF DIGITAL SIGNATURE DEVICE.

In case of Uanataca remote certificates, the sender should be noreply@uanataca.com, the subject can be Uanataca - il tuo certificato è stato generato or Uanataca - Enhorabuena, su certificado ha sido generado.

Adding Certificates from File (.p12)

At the end of the operation, the identity will be present within Namirial Sign.

Adding Local Certificates (smartcard/token)

In addition to the previous signature certificates, you can view local certificates, i.e., those present on a physical device (smartcard or token). No interaction with the software is necessary, just insert the token into the PC or the smartcard into a reader and all certificates on board will be automatically displayed.

Certificate Operations

For each type of certificate, you can perform certain actions by clicking on the menu related to the desired certificate.

For a remote certificate:

  • "Set as favorite" sets the current certificate as the one that will always be preselected in the signing flow;
  • "Save certificate" allows you to save the public certificate on your PC in .cer format;
  • "Disable certificate" is the function that allows you to keep the certificate in the personal area but not display it among the possible signing and encryption certificates; however, if there is an encrypted file that can be decrypted by that certificate, it will still be possible to use it for the decrypt function.
  • "Delete certificate" is used to remove the certificate from the list.

For a .p12 file certificate:

  • "Set as favorite" sets the current certificate as the one that will always be preselected in the signing flow;
