Digital Signature, MCA, KGCS,

Dear Professional Colleagues,

Recently, MCA has updated the settings for Registering/Updating DSC on the portal.
In this Article, I will try to resolve as many problems as possible (Troublehsooting Errors).

Kindly be apprised that earlier, it was done through Java Settings and we always wondered as in which version of Java will support.

But now, like other Govt. Portals including GST Website, MCA has come up with emSigner and it has its set of settings which one should be aware of.

System Requirements for Usage of Digital Signature Certificate

1. Desktop Browser: Internet Explorer 10+/ Chrome 49+ or Firefox 45+
2. Valid class 2 or class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) obtained from a DSC provider

Pre-requisites for installing Web socket installer

1. Windows 32 / 64 bit OS
2. Java 1.6 JRE 1.6.0_38+, Java 1.7, Java 1.8
3. Windows: Admin access to install the emSigner component
4. Any one of the following ports should be free
• 8080
• 2015

For downloading and installing the Web Socket Installer, perform the following steps:

Download the Web Socket Installer from the DSC Registration page of the MCA Portal.

7. A message indicating the start of the emSigner service is displayed. Click the OK button.

On successful set up, Digital Signature Signer window is displayed.

What steps can be taken if you face issues “please restart the emsigner”.

Please restart the emsigner by selecting “Run as administrator”. Then add a file path https://127.0.0.1:2015 to the "Exception List" under the "Security Tab" of Java Control panel.
