The CSI management utility gives you the option of:

  • Remembering the certificate password; and/or

  • Hiding subsequent confirmation (terms and conditions) screens.

Both functions are selected as the default, however you may deselect either option if you do not wish to use them.

These functions take effect once a successful signing operation has been performed.

Remember CSI certificate store passwords for multiple transactions

When this option is selected the certificate password will be remembered for the time specified in the drop down list. The default time is 5 minutes. If you wish to change the time to prompt for the certificate password, select another time from the drop down list.

Once the chosen time has been reached or you perform a signing transaction for non-repudiation, you will be prompted to enter the certificate password again.

You can use this option if you will be performing multiple signing transactions and the transactions:

  • Use a certificate from the CSI Store.

  • Use the same certificate or a certificate with the same subject and issuer.

  • Are all within the same session.

Hide subsequent signing confirmation screens when signing for authentication

When this option is selected the signing confirmation screen will be hidden for the time chosen in the drop down list provided. The default time is 60 minutes. If you wish to change the time to hide the confirmation screen, select another time from the drop down list.

The confirmation screen will be displayed if the specified time has been reached or a signing transaction is performed:

  • Using different terms and conditions.

  • Using a different signing certificate.

  • In a different session.
