DSC Settings in Edge Browser | Configure Digital Signature in Edge for Windows 10 & 7

📝 Introduction: Why DSC Settings Matter in Edge

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a mandatory requirement for many online government portals like ICEGATE, eTendering, MCA21, and TRACES. While most portals recommend using Internet Explorer or Firefox ESR, many users now prefer Microsoft Edge, especially on Windows 10 and Windows 7.

However, Edge doesn't support Java natively — which DSC relies on — unless it's Internet Explorer Mode. This guide provides a complete walkthrough on how to configure DSC settings in Microsoft Edge, so you can use digital signatures smoothly on both Windows 10 and Windows 7 systems.

💻 Can DSC Work on Edge Browser?

Microsoft Edge (Chromium version) does not support Java applets. But thanks to Internet Explorer Mode in Edge, you can still run Java-dependent DSC functions.

🔧 Step-by-Step Guide: DSC Settings in Edge (Windows 10 & 7)

✅ Step 1: Install Your DSC Token & Driver

  1. Insert your USB DSC token (ePass 2003, ProxKey, etc.)
  2. Download the token driver from your provider's official site.
  3. Install the driver and restart the system.
  4. Check if the DSC is detected via the token utility.

✅ Step 2: Install Java

  1. Go to www.java.com
  2. Download Java 8 (preferably version 8u181)
  3. Install Java and open Control Panel → Java

Important: Add your DSC-using websites (like eprocure.gov.in, icegate.gov.in) to the Exception Site List in the Security tab.

✅ Step 3: Enable Internet Explorer Mode in Edge (Windows 10 & 11)

⚠️ Not applicable to Windows 7 – use Internet Explorer directly instead.

  1. Open Edge browser
  2. Go to: edge://settings/defaultbrowser
  3. Under “Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode”, choose Allow
  4. Restart Edge
  5. Right-click any tab and choose "Reload in Internet Explorer mode"

Your portal will now run in IE mode, allowing Java and DSC to function.

✅ Step 4: Configure Security Settings for Java in Edge IE Mode

  1. Ensure Java is installed and updated.
  2. Run the Edge tab in IE Mode.
  3. When prompted, allow Java and certificate access.

🪟 DSC Settings in Edge – Windows 7 Special Note

Windows 7 doesn’t officially support the latest Edge browser. You should use:

  • Internet Explorer 11
  • Or Mozilla Firefox ESR with the Java plugin

Still want to try Edge?

  • Use an older standalone Edge installer if available (limited support)
  • Run the portal in IE directly instead of Edge
