Digital ID's are certificates installed to the server that allow claim submission.

For Canada users, both ITRANS and ITRANS 2.0 require digital IDs.

Install Provider Certificates

Each dentist sending claims must have a CDA Digital ID (certificate) installed. These certificates should be installed to the server hosting ITRANS.

• Certificates must be installed to the same Windows user that ITRANS is linked to. When installing Certificates, ensure you are logged into that user.
• If the password of the Administrator Windows user changes, the certificates may become corrupt, and must be reinstalled. Some Windows updates have also caused certificate corruption in the past.
• If a password is changed, the ITRANS services must also have the password updated.
• Ensure the server date and time are set correctly prior to installing certificates. Incorrect dates or times may deem the certificates to be invalid.
• If replacing a current certificate, remove the old certificate first before proceeding.
