    Hi!
    I was wondering... signserver can be used for user signature?
    If yes, can it be integrate with ejbca somehow?

    I would like to have the posibility to sign documents with different keys, and to manage he private keys in order to assure the end-users that the private key cannot be obtained by the signserver without the user consent.

    As I read, you can use it for TSA, where signserver will sign everythime with the same key, but I would like to sign with a key selected based on an username (for example).

    Hi Iulian,

    You can use different keys and certificates by using multiple workers each configured to use a specific key/certificate.

    An other alternative is to configure the worker with an AliasSelector [1] which can be used to for instance use a different key based on the user name.

    SignServer will still be using the private key though, either directly for soft keystores or using a hardware security module.
