Importing a Trusted Identity Certificate

Before a digital signature can be validated in Revu, the digital ID certificate of the signer must be imported in your trusted repository. The recommended best practice when it comes to importing digital ID certificates is to have signers send you their digital ID certificates (which can be easilyexported from Revu) directly and import them into your trusted repository ahead of time.

  2. In Revu, go to Document >  Signatures > Trusted Identities. The Manage Trusted Identities dialog box appears.

  3. Click Add Trusted Identity. The Windows Open dialog box appears.
  4. Browse to the location of the saved .cer file and open it. Revu automatically adds it to your list of trusted identities.
