Create a CSC Connector
The Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) is a standard protocol for cloud-based digital signatures that supports web and mobile applications and complies with the most demanding electronic signature regulations in the world.
The goal is to provide a common technical specification that will make solutions interoperable and suitable for uniform adoption in the global market, and to meet the highest level requirements of the European Union’s regulation on Identification and Trust Services (eIDAS).

Provider |
Select the provider for this connector, i.e. "CSC". |
Purpose |

Logo |
Select an appropriate image in the jpeg, jpg, gif or png format for the connector's logo that will be displayed on the login screen. |
Server Address |
URL where CSC Server is deployed and accessible. The server address must be in the following format: [CSC_SERVER_URL]/csc/[CSC_SPECIFICATION_VERSION] |
Client ID |
Application ID that is provided by the CSC Server. |
Client Secret |
Client Secret is provided by the CSC Server. However, this is an optional parameter which is not mandatory in case of all CSC Servers. |
Auth Type |
Select the authorisation type, i.e. "Authorisation Code" or "Client Credentials". By default, the "Authorisation Code" auth type will be selected. If "Authorisation Code" is selected as the auth type, the user will be required to provide authorisation code every time they try to sign using the CSC Server. However, if "Client Credentials" is selected as the auth type, the CSC User ID will be used and the user will be allowed to sign without requiring any manual authorisation at the time of signing. |
Level of Assurance |
Select a level of assurance for your CSC connector, that will be used while signing and will show the signing capacities based on the level of assurance in the connector and as set by the document owner. By default, the "Advanced Electronic Signature (AES)" level of assurance will be selected. |
Authorisation Required |
Select this check box if the CSC Server expects an authorisation while accessing remote services connected to Corporate Identity Management services or connected to public Electronic Identity (eID) frameworks. In the former case, the remote service may be required to prevent access to users that are not affiliated with the Corporate; while in the latter case, the remote service may be restricted to avoid abuse by unauthorized users. |
Active |
Select this check box to make this connector active. Inactive connectors cannot be configured in the Signing Profiles. |
