FAQ


I loaded alternative certificates in my signature card. How can I use them?

You need to open the file wrocklage\cardini.ini. Change there the value C000/C500 to 43B1, 43B2 or 43B3 etc.

I am using the Netkey 3.0 Card and was wondering that Aloaha asked twice for a PIN the first time I signed with the qualified certificate.

The Telesec Netkey 3.0 Card requires a secure channel to be able to use the qualified signature. The first time a secure channel is being etablished between Aloaha and the Smart Card Aloahas Public Key has to loaded into the card. Saving of Data into the Netkey Card required the Cardholder PIN.

How can I reset the Aloaha Certificate Cache?

You need to empty the directory certificates and delete the key HKCU\Software\Aloaha\csp\cache


Is it possible to roll out own certificates to the TCOS3 Card?

Yes, from version 3.9.271 the PFX Writer included in Aloaha can roll out certificates directly to the card (except the QES Certificate).

Just right click on the yellow Aloaha System Tray Icon and choose PFX Writer.

Now choose the CA Certificate Template and the Card Reader and press the button with the Aloaha Logo. Aloaha will automatically send the public key of the card to your local Active Directory Domain Controller. The CA will generate the certificate and the PFX Writer will write it to the card.
