The message below is generated if your LUXTRUST e-file SSL certificate has not been registered with the CSSF.
For some reportings, the LUXTRUST e-file SSL certificate used by the reporting entity must be registered with the CSSF, before sending any files, according to the registration procedure described in the CSSF 08/334.
The LUXTRUST e-file SSL certificate must be registered with the CSSF for the below reportings:
- FINREP (CSSF circular 08/344)
- COFREP (CSSF circular 08/344)
- ESP (Special enquiries; CIRCULAR CSSF 08/344)

Write rights
The Transmission Module requires read AND write access on the e-file directory in order to run properly.
These error messages reflect access problems.
How to retrieve the path of your e-file directory:
1. Connect to e-file v1
2. Click the link Configure my workstation security
3. Click the link Configure the encryption module
4. A Java windows opens, click Browse
5. The path of the e-file directory will be written here :
In order to get read AND write access on the e-file directory, please follow the steps below:
Right click on the e-file directory > properties ... > disable the checkbox label 'Read Only'
If your internal security allows that action, you must also adapt your user rights to all e-file sub-directories.
Note: If you are not allowed to perform such an action, we invite you to contact your IT department so that they can do it for you.
Firefox and Safari compatibility
Like IE8, Firefox version 3 and the Safari browser don't retrieve by default the full path of a document when it is selected from the local file system
Unlike the Microsoft browser, Firefox and Safari do not allow the user to modify the security settings by himself.
We have adapted our application for this particular case by replacing the 'browse' button by a simple text field.
To join a document to an envelope, the user has to copy/paste the whole path of the file in this text field
PC Example : C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Desktop\[myFile].[myExtension]

As the Transmission Module is based on Java Web Start, it is mandatory that the JNLP files are properly supported by Java.
This association is automatically set up when installing Java, but sometimes a specific Internet Explorer option may prevent it to run properly.
Solution:
1. In Internet Explorer, navigate to Tools > Internet Options.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Scroll down to Do not save encrypted pages to disk.
5. Disable the checkbox label Do not save encrypted pages to disk.
6. Click OK and click Apply.
Running ActiveX
The Transmission Module needs the ActiveX controls and plug-ins to be enabled. This association is automatically set up when installing Java, but sometimes a specific Internet Explorer option may prevents it to run properly.
Solution:
1. In Internet Explorer, navigate to Tools > Internet Options.
2. On the Security tab, select a network zone.
3. Click Custom Level.
4. Scroll down to the Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins.
5. Select the checkbox label Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins.
6. Click OK and click Apply.
Error message: Waiting files to transmit...
This message might occur when there is a connection problem between your proxy and the Transmission Module.
Close the Transmission Module :
Activate the Java Console, try to resend your files and check the logs.
If an error 407 appears, it means that the Transmission Module is not able to authenticate on your proxy (407 Proxy Authentication Required)
As a consequence all communications with e-file are blocked.
In order to fix it you need to :
• Go in the Configuration tab of the Transmission follow-up
• Tick the checkbox Use an alternative connection solution
Close the transmission module To end the process, right click on the icon in the taskbar and select “Close Transmission Module” :
Start again the Transmission module
Error message: The process takes too much time
The error message occurs when the Transmission Module could not be launched in time.
Please ensure that:
(-) Your system (proxy, antivirus,...) allows .jar and .jnlp files to be downloaded
(-) The ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) are enabled
(-) your proxy by-passes the communication with:

Why to merge two keystores
While renewing a Luxtrust certificate, the Transmission Module sometimes creates a new keystore file instead of amending the existing one. This happens when the existing keystore is not selected during the keys generation. The new keystore then allows all E-file functionnalities. However, documents encrypted with or for one of your old certificates cannot be opened.
This article explains how to merge two keystores.
How does a keystore work
Keystore is a Java technology that keeps an history of your certificates like a stack. It is a small file which extension is ".ks" and contains a list of certificates.
Every certificate contains a public key but also a private key which is protected by a password (symbolized 
). The keystore access is protected by a password as well (symbolized 
). The private key password and the keystore password must always match, thus = . For this reason make sure to always use the same password while handling the keystore.
During encryption or decryption, the Transmission Module will browse the different keystore's certificates in order to find the associated private key. That's why it's better to have all your company's certificates inside the same keystore.
On the previous sketch, the certificate D has been inserted in a new keystore (keystore 2). For convenience reasons, we prefer putting it in the other keystore (keystore 1) at the top of the pile.
How to merge two keystores
The merging of two keystores is done thanks to an independent Java software called KeyTool which can be downloaded at the following link : [[1]]. To open it, double click on keytooliui.jar.
Follow all the steps to import public and private key from a certificate to another.
- Select "Import private key from other keystore" as shown on the above printscreen (step 1)
- Click on the two icons in the "Source" section in order to select the keystore containing the certificate to import (step 2). The source keystore corresponds to Keystore 2 of the "How does a keystore work" section sketch.
- Do the sane for the target section that selects the keystore on which import the certificate (step 3). The target keystore corresponds to the Keystore 1 of the of the "How does a keystore work" section sketch.
- Click OK (step 4)
f
- Select the certificate (that contains the private key) of the source keystore that you desire to import, input its password in the specific field at the bottom of the window.
Click OK
Input the name of the new private key that will be generated in the target keystore. The naming convention is :
cleprivalid_ + incremented number.
As an example, if the target keystore contains already 4 certificates, it has the following entries :
- cleprivalid_1
- cleprivalid_2
- cleprivalid_3
- cleprivalid_4
The new key name will be cleprivalid_5.
- Input the password that will be associated to the new key. Warning : it must be the same as the other private key's password of the target keystore (the one of the keystore). Confirm password.
- Click Ok
The following window appears to indicate the success of the import. When clicking Ok you will see the target keystore content that should contain the imported certificate.
