19. If the SCSigner plugin has installed successfully (when testing the smart card for the 2nd time with the card inserted), you will be prompted to “Sign Data”.

  • Enter the card’s PIN number.
  • If the plug-in is successfully installed (and trusted), the card’s encrypted certificate will be displayed (as shown in the example below). Click close. The test is complete.

If the certificate is not displayed (or you are requested to “Download the Installer” again, then network security has prevented successful installation/use of the SC Signer. In this case IT admin assistance will be required.
