WPC - Copy or export the Print API certificate

Principle

The Watchdoc Print API certificate is required to use Watchdoc Print Client (for Windows, for Android, for Chrome, and Skyprint).

This certificate is requested during the installation procedures for these modules. It is therefore necessary to download the certificate beforehand.

This certificate can be exported in two different formats:

  • .der file

  • as a string of characters (base 64).

Procedure

Log in to the Watchdoc administration interface.From the Main Menu, Configuration section, click Advanced Configuration > System Configuration.In the Miscellaneous section, click Export Certificate:

the generated file is named print_api_cert.der. Save it in the installation folder of the relevant Watchdoc Print Client (by default C:\Program Files\Doxense\[WPC or Skyprint]):
