The most common error while signing/validating with DSC on TRACES is

“Error in establishing connection with TRACES WebSocket Esigner. Please ensure that WebSigner Setup is installed and service is running on your machine and there are no proxies enabled on the browser while doing DSC activities”

TDS 1

Steps to resolve this error:

1. First, Un-install the existing Java Utility, Emsigner (including MCA, GST) that was installed on your PC and start from the Scratch.

2. Install JAVA 8 Update 162 32-bit version only

– Even if you are using windows 7/10 and 32bit/64bit version, you have to install aforesaid version only.

– Yes, TRACES need older version of Java, your existing JAVA may be updated one, because of auto-update functionality.

– You can also download the aforesaid version Java Utility from the below link-

https://www.filepuma.com/download/java_runtime_environment_32bit_8.0.1620.12-17918/

3. Download TRACES Web Signer Setup V 2.0 setup file from the TRACES website.

– TRACES has updated WebSocket in 1st week of June 2019. So, even if you are using WebSocket V 2.0, I suggest you uninstall and download the latest WebSocket from TRACES site.

4. Install DSC drivers on your PC, if not installed earlier or you are using DSC for the very first time on PC, DSC drivers will be available in the CD provided along with the DSC or Online.

5. Update your Chrome (if it is of Older version).

6. Clear Cache & Cookies from your browser.

7. Now restart your PC.

8. Run EmSigner as administrator.

After following the above steps, still if you are facing the same issue:

1. Install the JAVA FXER software from the below link:

https://johann.loefflmann.net/downloads/jarfix.exe

2. Run the above software as Administrator, your problem will be fixed.

Important:

1. Even if you are facing same issue after performing the above steps you might be using internet connection through mobile hotspot or JIO Fi device, please change your internet connection.

2. Incorrect DSC Token password issue on TRACES website.

While browsing TRACES site especially on Google Chrome, you may face issues with DSC Password, even though you have entered it correctly it shows Incorrect DSC Token password, this is purely a technical issue, please try clearing cookies and cache or logout and open TRACES site in Internet Explorer/Mozilla Firefox browsers.

That’s it, now Insert your DSC Token and you will be able to validate DSC on TRACES website without any hurdles.

I have discussed and interacted with the TRACES technical team, IT Experts and in the article, I mentioned all the possible steps to be taken care of. I request before reaching me WhatsApp or email please try the steps mentioned in the article a it is. After following above steps mentioned in the article you shouldn’t be facing any issues with the EmSigner on TRACES Portal.

If you are facing DSC Incorrect password issue, Uninstall existing DSC driver (ePass 2003) from your control panel and Install again by selecting Private CSP during the installation process,  earlier you may have selected Microsoft CSP.

Please follow the steps carefully as listed above. If you are still facing the same issue, please uninstall all the existing JAVA and Em signers (Including TRACES, GST, Income Tax, MCA etc.,), restart your PC and follow the above steps.

So thanks a lot again! 🙂 Thw world needs more people like you. 😀

    I was facing both the issues, smart card error and incorrect password error.
    I have Java 8 update 92 but this was not the issue.
    I have uninstalled the token driver and installed as private csp as suggested in article and used internet explorer instead of chrome and the magic happened.

    Thanks for your article.

    Why the govt site is so out dated?
    The current security Java version is 8.0-211
    They may as well go the age old system of manual filing. No wonder, since the portal is maintained by the most inefficient [ inEfficient’Osys the so called security famous Service Provider].
