hello

i have a question

necessary to exchange documents with signatures between 2  enterprises. but we don't want to use CA (certification authority). we  have 2 variants:

1. ldap server.

as i see ldap server  contains all certificates from all users, f.e. Larina.fdf and Brown.fdf.  In Acrobat i have to create new directory server and when i want to  find new certificate and load it to Trusted identities - i'm looking for  it on ldap server with Manage trusted identities. But its manual work  for each certificate... maybe it can be automatize - in other words can i  load both of certificates Larina.fdf and Brown.fdf to trusted  identities automatically (maybe periodically)?

2. exchange folder.

or  we can use exchange folder for hold all certificates... but besides  process of load will not automated...

maybe you can consult another way to  automatize process of load certificates to trusted identities in  acrobat?

(  and i can't find trusted identities from acrobat in windows certificate  store... where i can find it?)

Hello Larina. Did you ever find a solution to finding certificates for all users with an LDAP server? I am also interested in getting this set up for our company.

Best Regards

Hi,

For signature workflows, you don't have to individually trust all the end entity certs for all your users. You only need to trust a "trusted root" up to which all the end user certs chain. That is, just trust one cert such as your enterprise cert if you issue your own or that of the 3rd party that issued it (e.g. Verisign).

You can use a number of mechanisms to set up trust:
