Certificates
The Certificates page provides a read-only overview of all cryptographic certificates stored across every bank connection in bossEBICS. Certificates are used for authentication, encryption, and signing in EBICS communication. They are created and managed through the bank user initialisation process and are never entered manually.
Certificates List
The list shows all certificates across all bank connections and users. Each row represents one certificate.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Common Name | The Common Name (CN) from the certificate subject. Contains the domain name of the bank or company. |
| Bank Code | The bank connection this certificate belongs to. |
| BC Username | The Business Central user account linked to this certificate. Empty for bank-configuration certificates. |
| Certificate Type | Indicates whether the certificate belongs to a bank user (Bankuser) or to the bank's connection configuration (Bankconfig). Bank-configuration certificates are fetched from the bank during the HPB request. |
| X509 Content Type | The encoding format of the stored certificate (Cert for a plain public certificate, Pkcs12 for a certificate with private key). |
| Organization | The organisation name from the certificate subject. |
| Organization Unit | The organisational unit from the certificate subject. |
| Locality | The city or locality from the certificate subject. |
| State | The state or province from the certificate subject. Must be spelled out in full. |
| Country | The two-character ISO country code from the certificate subject (for example, CH). |
| Key Length | The RSA key length in bits. The minimum required by EBICS is 2048 bits. |
| Usage | The cryptographic purpose of the certificate: Signature (signing orders), Authentication (authenticating requests), or Encryption (encrypting session keys). |
| EBICS UserID | The EBICS User ID this certificate is associated with. Empty for bank-configuration certificates. |
| Version | The version of the certificate. |
Information
The Certificates list is read-only. Certificates are created automatically during bank user initialisation and updated via the HPB request. To view the full detail of a certificate, select the row and open the certificate card.
Information
All certificate key material (private key, public certificate, and AES encryption key) is stored encrypted in BC Isolated Storage. The certificate list/card does not expose private key data.
