The most commonly reported error message is an 'Internal Server Error' or 'Error 404 Page Not Found'. The reason for this error message is that the URL is not correctly entered into the web browser's address bar.

To avoid this issue, copy the entire URL, without any breaks, and paste it into the browser's address bar.

Other Enrollment Pop Up Dialog Messages

When collecting your Digi-Access™ certificate, depending on what version of Microsoft® web browser you are using and how it is configured, you may see the following two dialogs:


1. This warning highlights potential concerns relating to Trusted certificates. It is both confusing and unclear. The Digi-Access™ certificate used for two factor authentication is of a specific configuration that Microsoft® is not 'familiar with'. You can ignore this message and should select and click Yes.

2. This message, may concern you as it uses strong language about 'security' and 'risk' but it is really about marketing Microsoft® (and Microsoft® approved) certificates. The last paragraph is the important one where it states: "Click Yes if you trust this Web site". You do trust the website, so select and click Yes.







In certain versions of Windows 7, or Internet Explorer®, you may still encounter certificate installation issues. If this occurs, email support@digi-sign.com [3] and your certificate can be delivered by alternative methods.


There are other warning messages in Mozilla Firefox [4], that you may wish to review also.
