Before you proceed you must do

  • If you have smart card reader and smart card from InfoNotary, but you didn't install the drivers for them do the following use repositories of InfoNotary
  • IMPORTANT : In the information message "Please enter the master password for InfoNotary", enter your PIN code.
  • IMPORTANT : Firefox and Thunderbird use direct access to the smart card. When you have successfully installed your certificates, you SHOULD NOT delete them from there, as this will also delete the certificate, along with the private and public keys on the smart card.
