Requirements
What each mode needs at runtime: middleware and a card reader, outbound network access, or nothing at all.
What each mode needs at runtime.
eID mode
- The Belgian eID middleware, which provides the PKCS#11 library
- A card reader with an eID card inserted
- The PC/SC service running
- Network access for levels b-t and above; b-b is fully offline
Azure mode
- No hardware at all
- Outbound access to login.microsoftonline.com and your Key Vault URL
- A personal key and certificate provisioned in Key Vault by an administrator
- Reachable CRL or OCSP endpoints on the internal CA for levels b-lt and above
Image mode
- Nothing — pure PDF stamping, fully offline
The page preview in the placement step needs nothing extra: the PDFium rendering engine is bundled with the application.
