Configure the Dashboard

This page provides instructions to sign up with Signicat on the Signicat Dashboard and configure your account to prepare for the integration with DigiD CombiConnect.

1. Sign up to Signicat​

If you do not have an account already, then you need to sign up to the Signicat Dashboard for free and complete the initial preparations. To do this:

  1. Sign up to the Signicat Dashboard and register your profile.
  2. Create an organisation.

2. Accounts and environments​

When integrating with DigiD CombiConnect, you must first test and get approval for the pre-production account before you can proceed with the integration in a production account.

Logius offers two separate environments for your integration with DigiD CombiConnect. Signicat matches this design with two separate types of accounts as displayed in the table below:

The subsection below guides you through your account configuration in the Signicat Dashboard.

2.1 Create a sandbox account​

To test DigiD CombiConnect in the pre-production environment, you need to create a sandbox account with a custom domain in the Signicat Dashboard. To do this:

  1. Go to the Signicat Dashboard.
  2. Create a sandbox account. For detailed instructions, see the Create an account section.
    Existing customers

    If you are an existing Signicat customer, you may reuse a sandbox account that you have previously created.

2.2 Add a custom domain​

Required

Note that you must add a custom domain. Accounts with a Signicat subdomain (for example, mycompany.signicat.com) do not support connections with DigiD CombiConnect.

To configure your account with a custom domain, do the following:

  1. Go to the Signicat Dashboard > Organisation management.
  2. Select the account where to add the new domain. Then, select Domains.
  3. Select + Add domain at the top right of the screen.
  4. Add a custom domain. For detailed instructions, see the Custom domains documentation. You can add a custom domain with either Signicat-managed or self-managed certificates.
    Using Let's Encrypt certificates

    If you wish to connect with Let's Encrypt certificates as TLS server certificates for DigiD CombiConnect, then you must use a .nl domain. Learn more in the Logius documentation.

Once you have created a sandbox account with a custom domain, you can proceed to create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). This is necessary to obtain PKIo certificates for DigiD CombiConnect.
