Enterprise certificate

Step 1: Installing an enterprise certificate on your computer

The provider of the enterprise certificate (Commfides or Buypass) can support you how to do this.

Step 2: Creating an enterprise user in Altinn

Persons with the role Access manager for the enterprise can register and manage users. They do this under Profile → Advanced settings. In order to register a new user you need to upload the certificate. Make sure it’s a *.cer file. If you haven’t received it from your certificate provider, make it yourself by exporting the certificate from your browser (as long as the certificate has been installed on your PC).

How to create a cer-file in Windows: Press the start button → search for: certificate → select Manage user certificates → select Personal → Certificates → right-click on the certificate → press All tasks → Export → then use the default options in the wizard (next) until you come to filename, choose a name for the file and save it somewhere you can find it again.

• Step 3: Delegating roles to the enterprise user
•  

Once the enterprise user is created, the general manager or chairman or someone else with delegating rights, give roles and rights to the enterprise user(s).

The roles are given to the user name under Profile → Others with rights to the organization.

There are two ways to update the certificate on the user:

Option 1 (can only be done before the old certificate expires):
- Log in with the business user here:
https://www.altinn.no/ui/Authentication/EnterpriseIdentified
- Go to Profile -> Login information
- Select "Add certificate" and upload the cer file. See instructions for creating the file further down.

Option 2:
- Log in with a birth number that has the Access Management role.
- Represent the company.
- Go to Profile -> Advanced settings -> Register new user with business certificate.
- Select "Edit user and certificates" to the right of the username. Delete the old certificate (do not delete the user).
- Add the new certificate by uploading the .cer file.
- There is no confirmation, but no error message = OK.
