Technical Notifications for 2017 - 2018

Default full screen mode for Adobe Sign UI

In order to improve the experience on smaller devices and provide a better reading experience on the desktop, the Adobe Sign March release introduced a more flexible Sign UX based on the width of the browser. 

This was enabled selectively for enterprise accounts and generally for all individual and team accounts. 

In July this became the default configuration.  Users will see the web UI adapted to the width of the page and stack components instead of shrinking them to fit a narrow width.

Action Required

No action is needed to take advantage of this new capability however this can be disabled by an account admin by navigating to the Account > Global Settings > Adobe Sign Page Presentation setting and unchecking the box. 

As part of the September release the ability to disable this feature was removed from the application and the more flexible UX became standard.

New Release: Adobe Sign September 2018

The Adobe Sign September 2018 product release is scheduled for early September.

This product release includes new features and feature enhancements for administrators and end users. No impact to the service is expected with this release. 

Adobe Sign is now supports Aadhaar E-KYC API v2.1

Aadhaar signing workflow in Adobe Sign has now moved to the latest E-KYC (electronic know your customer) API specifications. This was done to comply with new regulatory changes that mandate v2.1. Signers can now sign an agreement using their Virtual ID (VID). This update also improves the signer’s experience and fixes the Internet Explorer 11 problems reported earlier.

Adobe Sign achieves FedRAMP Tailored certification

Adobe Sign is now authorized by the GSA (Government Services Administration of the US) as meeting the requirements of Federal Risk Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Tailored, allowing Adobe Sign to be sold and used by non-defense US federal government agencies. 

This certificate means Adobe Sign has been reviewed by the GSA security assessor and has been approved for use at the Li-SaaS In Process level.  Adobe Sign will continue to undergo the constant monitoring required to maintain its status as a certified government cloud service provider. 

You can read more about FedRAMP at https://www.fedramp.gov/

Adobe Sign is focused on promoting data privacy regulations

Adobe Sign will comply with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

This privacy law affects all companies that collect personal information from individuals that are citizens of the EU.  Adobe Sign adheres to the rule to collect the minimum amount of information needed to conduct business during the signing process. 

All participants in Adobe Sign can access and modify their personal information through their user profile and by examining the agreements that they’ve signed. 

Adobe Sign customers that engage with consumers will have the ability to provide information to their customers about what was collected and remove that data according to their business processes. You can read about the new GDPR features of Adobe Sign here.

You can read about Adobe rules and regulations that protect privacy by design across all products here: https://www.adobe.com/privacy.html.

Adobe has begun to auto-expire agreements that are still unsigned and older than 1 year old

Starting in October 2018, Adobe Sign has begun to expire agreements that are over 1 year old, and are still in the Waiting For Signature state.

Notifications will not be sent to participants of these agreements but they will be able to see them in their Manage page under the Canceled/Declined list.

ACTION REQUIRED

Customers can review their older agreements through the Manage page or by creating a report of agreements older than 1 year and downloading the report.  The filter in both cases is the “Out for Signature” status. 

This new rule applies only to non-terminal agreements.

Agreements that have completed or were canceled or declined will not be impacted.

Integration: Adobe Sign for Salesforce v20 released in July 2018

Read the release notes here.

Insecure traffic blocked

On June 20th 2018, we ended support for several categories of insecure network traffic for Adobe Sign. This was required to meet specific requirements for PCI compliance.

Inbound traffic, or connections made from a client to our servers.

We stopped supporting unencrypted connections to our APIs -- that is, requests that use "http:" rather than "https:".

With this change, customer and partner applications will fail on attempts to establish unencrypted connections.

• The error behavior will be application-specific.

Outbound traffic, or connections made from our servers back to customer-specified servers.

There are two categories:

• Upload callbacks for document uploads (described here for our REST API, but also applies to the legacy SOAP API)
• Status callbacks to notify the customer of a change in agreement status (described here for our REST API, but also applies to the legacy SOAP API)

For both categories of callbacks, we stopped supporting:

• Unencrypted connections (using "http:" rather than "https:" URLs)
• Connections to servers that do not support TLSv1.2 (in other words, TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 will no longer be supported)
• Connections to servers that have invalid certificates. This includes certificates that are self-signed or expired, as well as cases in which a URL uses an IP address rather than a hostname.

Security Notice: Support of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 ends April 9 2018

Adobe will be removing support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 protocols in 2018 to meet industry best practices for SSL/TLS security.

API: New setting to customize the error code generated in case of URL expiry

Currently, the HTTP error code returned when a URL expires is 404 (page not found), which is not compliant with HTTP standards. These URLs can be generated by REST API calls such as GET/agreements/{agrID}/combinedDocument/url. However, the more appropriate HTTP error code is 410 (gone). With the May release, the default HTTP error code was changed to 410. A new setting is available to allow a custom HTTP Status Code (404, 410, etc.) to be sent in this error scenario.

ACTION REQUIRED

If your applications expect an expired URL to throw a 404 error, you will need to request a change to the value of this setting to 404. Contact Customer Support for assistance.

Feature Deprecation: Fax Signature workflow

With the May 2017 release, the new Send experience became the standard, and with it, the Fax signature workflow was replaced with a new Written signature workflow using scan and upload. The modern scan and upload functionality provides improved accuracy and auditability and results in better readability. Customers that use the API were also moved to the new Written signature workflow.

The classic Send experience with Fax signatures will be available for a limited time; however, it will be deprecated on October 31, 2017. Web application users that want to continue using the Fax signature workflow can do so by reverting to the classic Send page through the Send Settings. API users need to contact their Customer Success manager to continue to use the Fax signature workflow.

ACTION REQUIRED

Review the new Written signature workflow documentation and inform your end users of the changes. You may also need to update your end user and customer documentation for written signature workflows.

Mobile: Google ID and Google Apps login in the Adobe Sign mobile app will be removed

In an effort to improve security and usability, Google no longer allows OAuth authentication requests to Google via embedded browsers known as web views in native mobile applications. As a result, the Google and Google Apps login options have been removed from the Adobe Sign mobile app with the May release.

Adobe Sign users will still be able to login with their Google IDs via the standard login (email and password). The only difference is the removal of the Google and Google Apps options on the login page. If you encounter issues with standard login and your Google ID, reset your password and try again.
