[EN] How To Configure And Use Goodflag Desktop Advanced
After installing Goodflag Desktop Advanced, you will need to complete a few additional settings to use electronic signatures on your files.
1 – Prerequisites
Since electronic signatures require a digital identity certificate in addition to the signing software, you must install the appropriate middleware or device manager for your USB key or smart card, depending on the type of cryptographic token you are using.
Note that a qualified certificate is often required, depending on the type of data being transmitted.
The key or card must be connected to the computer before proceeding with any signature operations.

2 – Settings
Launch the Goodflag Desktop Advanced application :
Depending on the type of file to be signed, a particular profile will be used.
The selection is made by unfolding the drop-down menu present in the Process section.

Click on the “Declare a Digital Identity” option.
Select the Cryptographic Device (PKCS # 11) option, and click the button Next.
The available certificate should appear.
Select the line corresponding to the certificate, and click the button Next.
Click on the button Finish.
