button.
Result: the EfileCrypto.jnlp file is generated.
IMPORTANT: this file has to be downloaded (if you use the application for the first time) locally on your computer and must be opened to launch the Encryption Module.
Note: the Encryption Module is a Java application. For security reasons, this module aims at encrypting documents before they are sent to authorithies. It is also used to decrypt documents and feedbacks.
Java version 1.7.55 is a prerequisite for the installation of the e-file v2 encryption module.
2. Click the Open button of the EfileCrypto.jnlp file 
Result: the window below opens
3. Click the 
button

The path to the keystore has to be selected with the 
button and the key (locally or on a server) will have to be imported with the 
button :
Once the key has been imported, the access to the keystore is memorized by the application.
In order to be more user friendly and to speed up the sending process, the encryption module will then run as a back ground process on your desktop.
If you need to end the process, right click on the icon in the taskbar and select “Close encryption module” :
5. Return to the form form screen of the Report Generator
- Click the button
- Enter a "title of file sent"

-the 
button is now available and the report can be sent. A pop-up window will confirm the transmission.
Error messages
Message: The process takes too much time. Please restart the encryption module.
The error message occurs when the encryption module is not started in time.
Please check that the pop-up are enable for the site https://www.e-file.lu.
When clicking the "Transmission" button the file EfileCrypto.jnlp should be downloaded in order to launch the encryption module. You have to open this file with Java Web Start Launcher to run the module.
Message : Waiting files to transmit...
This error might occur when there is a connection problem between your proxy and the encryption module V2.
Close the encryption module :
Open the Java console (Cf. Encryption Module_6.8 Show the console in case of other Java issue) and check the logs.
If an error 407 appears, it means that the encryption module is not able to authenticate on your proxy.
As a consequence all communications with E-file are blocked.
In that case the solutions to resolve this problem are the following :
- Add the group "NoAuthenticated exception group" to your proxy for www.e-file.lu
- By-pass the proxy for the communication with www.e-file.lu
For more information please call the Helpdesk.
