Sign with DigiCert® Click-to-sign
DigiCert Click-to-sign is a DigiCert® KeyLocker client tool that provides Windows customers with a simple UI-based signing workflow that does not require use of the DigiCert® KeyLocker command line interface. After you specify your signing preferences in the DigiCert Click-to-sign installation wizard, you simply need to right-click on a file or folder to sign.
DigiCert® Click-to-sign relies on Signing Manager Controller (SMCTL) and PKCS#11 library to sign.
Note
These client tools must be stored in the C:\Program Files\DigiCert\DigiCert KeyLocker Tools\ folder to be used by DigiCert Click-to-sign.
