    Sir

    I am Commercial Tax Inspector in Kerala

    I have succeeded after various steps by this method.

    1. I have first uninstalled all DSC token softwares from my PC…. like Trustkey, ePass, WD Proxkey etc by going to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features >Uninstall Program.

    2. Secondly I have uninstalled emSignor software.

    3 Then Updated ‘Chrome’ Browser with latest version from their website

    4.Then Go to Chrome Settings menu by

    (There may some slight variations in Chrome Menus in different versions)

    In Chrome : Settings>Advanced Settings /Show Advanced Settings(menu seen at the bottom) > Privacy>Content / Content Settings > Java / Java Script/Java Settings > Exception / Manage exceptions > Then in the web site entry column / Host name Pattern entry column (example.com) > Click Add Button ( if shows – in some Chrome versions don’t have this ‘Add’ button) Then……

    replace the ‘example.com’ with the following address

    and dont change the status as ‘Allow’ ( If it shows status as ‘ Block / Blocked’ change to ‘Allow’ / ‘Allowed’ )

    press “Enter’ key. Then ‘OK’

    For Mozilla Firefox

    1. Open Menu >Options on the right top side of the browser(three dash lines) or Click on Menubar click Tools>Options
    ‘Options’ panel will be displayed on the left
    2. Click > Security
    3. Click > Exceptions
    4. Add following web address

    and click ‘Allow’
    5. Save Changes
    6. Close the Browser and Emsigner,
    7. Restart with Run as administrator
    8. Login to gst.gov.in portal and try again.

    5. Install latest version of emSignor from GST website by logging with user id and password from the link provided at Update / DSC menu on Dash Board .
    6. Restart the system /PC

    7. After installation ‘Right click’ on the desktop icon of the emSignor and select ‘Run As Administrator’.

    8. Then insert the DSC Usb Tokens and install the concerned software related to the DSC issuing Authority.

    It may be successful for such issues

    Lot of calls are coming still the problem exist.after setting the address in ‘Add Exception column.”
    The only solution is that please UNINSTALL  your old version emsigner first. If any DSC token softwares- ePass, TrustKey etc-  installed it also should be uninstalled. Download latest version 2.6  from

    https://tutorial.gst.gov.in/installers/dscemSigner/emsigner-2.6.msi

    https://www.gst.gov.in/help/docsigner

    Restart the computer. Restart your emSigner as “Run as Administrator ” mode by right clicking the emSigner icon in desktop and selecting the menu. Your icon name will be changed to ’emSignerGSTN’ ( Earlier version it was ’emSigner’. only, ). In earlier version the port was 1645.  But in latest version you can see the port has been changed to 1585. You can see the port by double clicking the emSigner icon on the system tray. 

    Then try to install your DSC by inserting your key to the usb port. Install the DSC software- ePass, Trustkey etc. (earlier we have uninstalled it.)

    Then run the signing.  

    Still the problem exist try my steps in my earlier post on this topic in this forum by replacing the web address (ie http://127.0.0.1:1645)  for add exception in Java with new address http://127.0.0.1:1585

    Restart the computer. Then restart emSignor. Use the token

    Again the problem shows in Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.  Try another good browser “Securebrowser” in your PC.  This ‘securebrowser’ can be download from the following links
