Verifying documents allows a user to confirm that a document containing a digital certificate is valid. If it does not pass verification, the document has been altered since the last signature was applied.
You can verify documents in the following ways:
-
From the Document Search Results list, select the document(s) to verify, right-click, and select Digital Signatures | Verify Document.
-
After selecting your documents, choose Document | Digital Signatures | Verify Documentfrom the OnBase Client menu.
-
From the bottom of an open document, right-click on the Signatures area and select Digital Signatures | Verify Document. This can also be done from the Document Handle retrieval list.
You cannot verify an OLE or PDF document using this method. To verify an open PDF document, click the Document Options icon (located in the upper-left corner of the document viewer) and select Digital Signatures | Verify Document, or use one of the other methods above.
If a document is verified as valid (in other words, it is unchanged since the last digital certificate was applied), a green check mark icon is displayed next to the document in the Document Search Results list.
If the document does not pass verification, a red X icon is displayed next to the document in the Document Search Results list. If a document fails verification, the document may have been altered since the last signature was applied.
