Document Input Source

Defines where the document or data to be signed is located.  

When this is set to "Server" the data will be passed from the business application to the ADSS Server Go>Sign Service, it will be hashed and sent to the Go>Sign Client for signing.

When this is set to "Client" the data will be obtained from the browser memory, or it can read it from the user's disk drive.  The Go>Sign Client will pass the data back to ADSS Server for hashing and the hash value will be returned to the Go>Sign Client for signing.

For security and simplicity of the Go>Sign Client all hashing takes place within the ADSS Server Go>Sign Service.

See ADSS Server Go>Sign Developers Guide section 4.3 Post Processing Functions.

Note: "Server" is the default and "Client" is used for more complex integrations.

Document Output Source

When this is set to "Server" this will be available for the business application (the application needs to call ADSS Server and request that the signed data or document is sent back.  

When this is set to "Client" the signed data or document will be returned so it can be made available in the browser for viewing, available to the business application or written to the user's disk drive.
