Individuals
As noted above, you can enter the system
in a number of roles. The minimal role is as an individual not
designated as a contact for a company accepted into the S/MIME Secure Messaging certification
program. For this you simply need a valid username and password
on the Certification Authority's web server.
If you don't yet have an account, you may obtain one from the certification web site by selecting "Enter secure site" to enter the
secure web site (if you have not already done so), then selecting "New User" to create your username and password.
Once you have your username, from the secure web site, select "Login" to
login. See the Getting Started link for more information.
Registering Contacts for a Company
To register for services certification, a training course or
batches of individuals as an examiner on behalf of
a company, you must be registered as the designated Authorized, Technical or Alternate contact for that company. Company
registration and that of its designated contacts have a number of steps
that must be completed before you will be able to proceed.
Your login will not offer you the full range of Product Standards until all the following
steps have been successfully completed.
Please take the following steps to register your company and its
contacts:-
- You will need a username and password on the Certification Authority's web server for identification purposes. If you don't yet
have an account, you may obtain one from the certification web site by selecting "Enter secure site" to enter the secure web site
(if you have not already done so), then
selecting "New User" to create your username and password.
- Next you will need to enter your company name and accept the terms and conditions of the Certification program, by accepting the
Certification Agreement, for entry into
the system. To do this you need to select
New Company Account.
- To register your company, you need to provide information about your company and specify the name and contact information for
the following contacts:
- The Authorized Signatory who will authorize your company's registration. The Authorized Signatory must be someone who is
authorized to enter into legal commitments on behalf of the company.
- The Technical Contact, who will be the primary contact for all certification-related issues.
- An optional Alternate Contact, who will be the back-up for the Technical Contact and also have access to the web certification
system to register products
- The Financial Contact, who will be the contact for any payment and/or invoicing issues
- An optional Marketing Contact, who will be the contact for any marketing-related certification issues
Note: The Authorized Contact, the Technical Contact and the
Alternate Contact, if specified, are the only users who will have the ability to register products or services using the web
certification system.
- The web based certification system will then send electronic mail to your designated Authorized Signatory who must respond by
electronic mail to the Certification Authority. The CA will verify the response and, if the requirements are met, accept your organization for entry into the certification system.
When the above is completed and the Certification Authority has responded to your designated Authorized Signatory with
notification that your application has been accepted, your Technical and Alternate contacts will receive confirmation by electronic
mail from the web certification system that your company account has been activated. At this point, your Technical and Alternate
contacts will be able to progress to the next stage which is accessing the web certification system to complete Product
Registration.
If you encounter difficulties with the login please contact the
Certification Authority.
