Installing the Solution

Not all OneSpan Sign features are supported by an integration with this Connector. However, most if not all, features supported by this integration can be found in this Connector's documentation. For questions about a specific feature, please ask in our Forums. If a feature you're looking for is not supported, please let your sales contact know so that an official request can be made.

  • Restart the related websites and application pools in IIS.

    If changes are ever made to the preceding settings in this procedure, the related websites and application pools in IIS must be restarted.

  • The OneSpan Sign Farm Feature should be activated by default. If it is not activated, activate it as shown below. Click System Settings, then Farm Features.

  • Click Central Admin > Monitoring > Timer Jobs > Review Jobs Definitions, and check if the OneSpan Sign timer job is successfully installed and configured.

  • Navigate to the web application where the solution has been installed, and do the following:
    1. Navigate to Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Collection Features.
      1. If the OneSpan Sign Site Collection Feature is not activated, click Activate.
      2. If it has been activated, click Deactivate, and then click Activate.
    2. Navigate to Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Features.
      1. If the OneSpan Sign Site Feature is not activated, click Activate.

  • Go to Site Actions > Site Permissions, and locate the group named as follows:

    {SITE_NAME} ESL Template Admins

    If a site is inheriting permissions from its parent, and the ESL feature is enabled on it, the ESL Template Admins group is created on its parent. Any user on the site who wants to be able to create a template should be added to this group. If this site is later changed to having unique permissions, a group called <Site Title> ESL Template Admins should be created manually on this site, and all template users should be added to this group.

  • If you want to add users who will work with OneSpan Sign templates, open this group.

  • Verify that the following OneSpan Sign ribbon appears on the site where OneSpan Sign has been activated.
