Configure the SEAL certificate

The SEAL certificate (.p12) must be imported in your organization settings to enable electronic signing. The certificate must be issued by a recognized authority.

Role of the certificate​

A .p12 file is a secure file used to identify your company and sign electronic documents.

It is like a digital ID card.​

What the .p12 file contains​

The .p12 (or .pfx) file contains three important things:

  • a private key (to sign documents)
  • a certificate (your digital identity)
  • a protection password (PIN)

Without this file, you cannot sign electronic invoices.​

Using the certificate​

The certificate is added to the system for use. It allows you to:

  • enable electronic signing
  • allow invoices to be sent

Certification authority​

The certificate must be issued by an official organization authorized to issue digital certificates. This ensures its validity and recognition in the system.

Certificate security​

  • The .p12 file is highly sensitive
  • It is protected by a password (PIN)
  • It must never be shared
