Smart Card User

Troubleshooting Checklist

1.  Check that you have successfully installed the latest version of WebSigner (including installation and enablement of the web browser extension).
This software can be accessed via our Download site
2.  Check that your User profile and Smartcard are both active:
 
1.  You can check with your System Administrator/s that your User profile is active within the Barclays iPortal
 
2.  Please also check that the Smartcard you are using has not expired
3. Ensure your Smartcard is inserted correctly into the reader and that the reader connected to your computer properly, either via USB or Bluetooth
4. If possible, try reconnecting your reader into a different USB port
5. Check that the operating system, web browser and smartcard reader you are using is supported for use with our Digital Channels. For more information, please see our Digital Channels Hardware and Software Requirements guide.

Alternatively, if you are still encountering an error message, and you are not using a Remote Desktop Services or Citrix environment, run a Smart Diag test.

Running a SmartDiag test will run a short diagnostic check to confirm if the smart card and smart card reader are being detected. To run the SmartDiag test ensure your smart card is inserted into the smart card reader and follow the below steps:

1.  Open your Programs list
2.  Select Gemalto > Smart Diag > Smart Diag.exe
3. Select Start

   
If ‘PASSED’ is displayed, no known issues have been identified and you should call the helpdesk for further information.

If the test displays a ‘failed’ message, follow the advice on the screen to resolve the identified issue(s).

Incorrect Pin!

  • If you are using a Remote Desktop Services or Citrix environment and encounter this error when entering the correct pin, please contact the helpdesk
  • If you have checked the above and continue to receive this error, please contact the helpdesk.
