How to overcome it. Should I use a different version of Java or Internet Explorer? Please help me. My email: [email protected]

    1. Mozilla Firefox 38.0.1 install karke update ko disable kare and java 8U171 install kijiye apka issue solve ho jayega..

  9. “INFO: UNEXPECTED ERROR OCCURRED WHILE SIGNING.
    Which type of browser & java is applicable for epf dsc?

  10. Jai Ho to the Indian Info.System. They do not want to change to better system. We always love to be in Archieves age. The Java runtime environment required by unified PF portal is JRE.8u92 only. you must be having the latest java security 8u281. So immediately downgrade the java security to 8u92. For this one must remove the existing installation and install the older version. U can get from https://www.filepuma.com/download/java_runtime_environment_64bit_8.0.920.14-11213/ for 64bit system or
    https://www.filepuma.com/download/java_runtime_environment_32bit_8.0.920.14-11212/ for 32bit sytem
    Download install and enjoy.
    If u want latest version for netbanking, after installing this version down load latest and install. During the installation the installer will recommend removal of older java just so “NO”.

  11. I installed Mozilla Firefox 38.0.1 in my windows 7 64 bit OS. I can login to my portal and can see my DSC as active in status. But when i try to approve with the DSC it shows an error “INFO: UNEXPECTED ERROR OCCURED WHILE SIGNING.Exception = No matching registered digital signatory details found.” even while signing in with the certificate shown in the window.

    1. Sometimes this error occures, so if your DSC is Active then try again later your issue will be solved as it is a temporary technical issue.

    1. Got to your DSC drive after insert of DSC token into your system then run the Application file. If you don’t have any knowledge about application installation so kindly take help of a technician.

  12. Your current browser version no longer supports java.
    You may choose to either use eSign for digital signing or any browser version with java support for DSC

    In EPF portal

  24. I just want to mention I am all new to weblog and really loved you’re web page. Probably I’m likely to bookmark your blog . You amazingly have tremendous articles and reviews. Cheers for revealing your web site.

  25. This Connection is Untrusted

    You have asked Firefox to connect securely to http://www.google.com, but we can’t confirm that your connection is secure.

    Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site’s identity can’t be verified.
    What Should I Do?

    If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn’t continue.

    This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

    http://www.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.

    The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired.

    (Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)

    1. Dear Mr. Asad,

      As the Mozilla 38.0.1 is very older version so some security features are not updated. But this can be use only for DSC work, rather than you can choose other browsers. So ignore the error message and proceed further and once completed DSC work you can switch to other browser for other work.

      Thanks & Regards
