CERTIFICATE
DOWNLOAD
You downloaded your
Certificate from the Secure Digital
website, but you can’t find it
on your Desktop. Where is it?
You might have saved your
Certificate to another
location on your PC, such as
“My Documents” or some
other folder. To find your
Certificate, start the
search utility (usually in
Start / Find or Start
/ Search then Files or
Folders) and type *.p12 (no
spaces) in the Name field.
Secure Digital Certificates are
usually in
Firstname_Lastname.p12
format.
When you try to download
your Certificate, I get the
following error message:
Certificate
already picked up
The
Certificate has been already
accepted and picked up by
you once
You
can pick up the Certificate
only once

of this problem:
1. You have not successfully
installed Certificate
to the Windows Certificate

be listed in the Personal tab.
If it is not, go back to Step

up Outlook Express 5.x and
6.x for Secure Digital.
2. If you have more than one
e-mail account in your
Outlook Express, try
repeating the procedure for
the account that your Secure Digital
Certificate has been issued
to: in Tools / Accounts, select the account
your Secure Digital Certificate
has been issued for and then
click Properties / Security
/ Select and you should see
your Certificate listed in
the Select Certificate window.
3. Your e-mail account
does not match your e-mail

When you try to send a
digitally signed message, but
you are getting the

can’t send digitally
signed messages because you

You either have not

your Certificate, or your
e-mail address is not
identical to the e-mail address

certificate:
a) in the Internet

/ Certificates. Your

For instructions how

use your Secure Digital
Certificate go to Step 2:

You are trying to send an
encrypted e-mail but you are
getting the following error message: Outlook Express was
unable to locate the Digital
ID of the following
recipients.
The message means that you
do not have Digital
Certificates (i.e. public keys) for
one or more of the intended
recipients (they are listed in the
error message
window). To add somebody's
Digital Certificate to your address
book, you must first receive
a digitally signed message
from that person
(instructions how to add
sender's public key to your
address book are available
in Step 3: Certificate
Use - Outlook Express 5.x
and 6.x as
well as how to Automatically
adding sender's Digital
Certificate to your address
book). Note: the Recipient's
public key is valid ONLY for
the e-mail address it is issued
for, and not for any other e-mail
addresses that person might
have.

LOTUS
NOTES 6
When I receive a
digitally signed message and
try to add the sender to
my address book, I get
"1024: Operation
failed" error.
Most likely, the sender is
using either Microsoft Outlook or
Outlook Express, and his
Name is in firstname.lastname@company.com
format. Outlook adds a
double quotation mark
(") in front of the sender's first name,
which causes an error
message to appear in Lotus
Notes. We recommend you ask the sender to
change his Name setting in
his e-mail account configuration
to "Firstname
Lastname"
format and to resend the
message digitally signed.
When I receive a
digitally signed message
from a sender whose Name ends
with a dot (.), his Digital
Certificate is not added to my
address book.
Ask the sender to
remove the dot (.) from the Name setting in
his e-mail account configuration and to resend
the message digitally
signed.
