What do I need to configure on my browser in order to carry out this procedure?
There are several things that you need to have correctly configured on your browser in order to carry out this procedure:
1. Have JavaScript activated
In order to sign and send the application, your browser must have Javascript activated.
The process for activating JavaScript may vary depending on the browser you use. Check the help option if you are unsure.
For example:
To activate Javascript using Mozilla Firefox
- On the menu bar click “Tools” and then “Options…” If the menu bar is deactivated, click on the “Firefox” tab and select “Options” and then “Options”
- Select the “Content” tab
- Click the “Activate JavaScript” box
- Click on “OK”
To activate Javascript using Internet Explorer
- On the menu bar, click “Tools” and then “Internet Options”

2. Do not use TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 secure transport protocol
Our procedures are not currently prepared to function with TLS 1.1/1.2 secure transport protocols.
If you are using the latest versions of Internet Explorer, you must deactivate these protocols. Follow these instructions to do so.
- On the menu bar, click “Tools” and then “Internet Options”
- Select the “Advanced Options” tab
- Go to the “Security” options
- Deactivate the “Use TLS 1.1” and “Use TLS 1.2” boxes
- Click on “OK”
3. Have a Virtual Java Machine installed
Step optimized for Java 7.x
In order to perform the request procedure, you must have the virtual Java machine installed on your browser if the service requires a digital signature.
To check the virtual Java machine you have installed and, if necessary, to upgrade it to a usable version, go to the following website:
http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
On this page, click the “Verify Java version” button to find out which version you currently have and, where relevant, whether it is possible to upgrade this to the latest stable version compatible with this service. To be able to make requests requiring a digital signature, you could have to install a compatible version, available at:
We recommend you leave only one Java version and uninstall those that are not used in order to avoid possible incompatibility problems.
You can check the Virtual Java machine requirements at the link 'Check that your computer meets the requirements necessary to carry out the procedure' associated with each process.
