emSigner USB DSC token installation and usage on macOS for filing GST

Prerequisites: Chrome browser, ePass DSC USB token. I assume that you are using Google Chrome browser.

Steps

1. Download and install Java 8 from Java website.
2. Since Mac OS doesn't support Java 8, download and install Java for OS X 2017–001 from Apple website.
3. Download and install ePass 2003 (Mac) from emudhra website.
4. Download emSigner for Mac from GST website.
5. Open emSigner installation utility and copy the emSigner folder to Desktop.
6. Open Spotlight (use the keys) – Command+Space.
7. In Spotlight, enter - terminal. Open the application.
8. Once the terminal application opens, enter - cd Desktop/emSigner. Press enter key.
9. Execute the following in the next line - java -jar emsigner_WS_OMM.jar. The following message will be displayed:
10. Go to MacOS > System Preferences > Java. In the Java Control Panel, open the Security tab.
11. Click on Edit Site List. Add https://127.0.0.1:1585 in the exceptions list. Save and close the panel.
12. Restart the machine.
13. Execute steps (6), (7), (8) and (9) to run the emSigner listner application.
14. Insert the USB DSC token into the USB slot.
15. Open Spotlight (use the keys) – Command+Space. Enter EnterSafeUserMgr. It will display the DSC token.
16. Open this URL in your Chrome browser https://127.0.0.1:1585, Click on Advanced button & again click Add certificate exception.
17. Now file your GST using the DSC key.

Since the application is installed on your machine, you don't need to execute all the steps to file GST again. For each month's filing, you only need to execute the steps 13 through 17.

I have followed all these steps as you suggested and I have same version of Java also.

When I run the EnterSafeUserMgr, it does not display my usb token.

And 127.0.0.1:1585 is not showing anything, I have tried various things to solve this.
Please help.

For all those who cant find "EnterSafeUserMgr"

Download the driver from ePass 2003 (Mac) from e-mudhra.com/Repository/downloads/... and install it.

An EnterSafeUserMgr application will be created and now you can access it by typing EnterSafeUserMgr

[Rahul A Stephenson]

HI.. Thanks for the detailed description... However the EnterSafeUserMgr is unable to detect the DSC token.. Please refer the attached screen shot.. Looking forward to a resolution and subscribing to the thread.. Thanks

Update 2021
Now there is a embridge available for mac from emudhra
embridge.emudhra.com/

[Varun Yellina]

I'm currently using an M1 Mac. While emBridge get installed successfully (as per the installer), I can't find it anywhere. It is not there in Applications folder.

@build3r Were you using this on an Intel Mac?
