When you first install a client tool, an installation pop-up may appear to help complete your setup. This pop-up is designed to resolve setup requirements up front and simplify your experience, so there’s no need to troubleshoot later.
You will only see this pop-up when your client tool requires additional configuration, such as:
The client tool depends on other client tools that are not currently installed.
The tool must be linked to a specific user.
If the tool has dependencies, the installation pop-up displays a color-coded list to help you understand what is required:
Green: Required and already installed.
Blue: Required and will be installed with your selected tool.
Grey: Optional; not required if you already have an alternative installed

Scenario
If you want to sign using DigiCert® Click-to-sign, you will need SMCTL and either PKCS11 or a KSP library.
If SMCTL is not installed, it will show in blue. This indicates that SMCTL will be installed by default because Click-to sign cannot work without it.
If the PKCS11 library it will show in green because it is required but already installed.
If the KSP library will show in grey because it is available for installation but not required, seeing as you already have the PKCS11 library installed. This means you can optionally select it for installation.
If the tool requires credentials, the installation pop-up will guide you through authentication setup. The app automatically configures your credentials during installation, no manual setup required. This ensures your client tool is ready to use right away, with secure access already in place.
The following authentication methods are available to you:
Store my credentials (Recommended) Automatically creates and stores an API key and client authentication certificate for you. This is ideal for faster, seamless access.
Use dynamic authentication Requires your DigiCert ONE login credentials each time you use the tool.
Configure a new service user Creates a dedicated service user and securely stores the API key and certificate. This is ideal for service integrations and automation.
