To conduct online trading, you need to install a special add-on that ensures the generation and verification of an electronic digital signature. It works synchronously with a web browser that supports authorization or confirmation of actions via digital signature. Sometimes an error occurs in which the notification “Sberbank AST plugin is not available” appears.

An electronic digital signature is used to manage the Sberbank-AST universal trading platform. After installation, the CryptoPro plugin is quickly integrated into the browser. It is compatible with most programs - Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera. The plugin is supported by all operating systems intended for PCs. The add-on is also compatible with a number of mobile operating systems. The signature is used to certify the following data:

  • documents downloaded from the user's computer;
  • autocomplete data;
  • electronic documents;
  • business correspondence.

Possible causes of failure

An error when opening the “Error Sberbank AST” storage may occur for the following reasons:

  1. The browser is outdated. The instructions specify the versions of programs on which the add-on can be installed. Some legacy versions also support the plugin, but crashes occur frequently. Working with such a browser is dangerous - the data may become available to third parties.
  2. The plugin is not installed. The list of downloaded extensions can be viewed in your web browser settings. If the plugin is missing, download it from the official website. Before installation begins, stop all applications on the PC. After installation is complete, the computer is restarted.
  3. The browser settings are incorrect. If the extension has been added but is not available, you may need to change some settings. Netscape module support tool is being activated in Google Chrome. In Internet explorer, all additional plugins are deactivated. All actions are performed using the menu located in the upper right corner of the page.
  4. The root certificate is missing. You can obtain it from a certification center that issues an electronic signature. Installation is carried out by double-clicking the left mouse button on the file. The system requests confirmation of the action or prohibition of downloading. After installing the certificate, restart the computer. The browser may report that the certificate has expired. This indicates that the wrong date is set on the PC.

If none of the above reasons have been identified, you need to contact the technical support of the trading platform. The message indicates the names of the operating system and browser, the date of issue of the electronic signature.

Possible mistakes

If, when working on the ETP, one of the error windows appears:

"Error! The CAPICOM library could not be loaded, possibly due to low permissions on the local machine."

"CAPICOM object is not installed"

“On your computer, the tools for working with digital signatures are missing or incorrectly configured. Contact the supplier of your certificate and CIPF."

"Unable to create object by Object Programming Server."

"Your browser does not have permission to use ActiveX objects."

then you need to follow the steps described below.

How to configure Internet Explorer

1. Make sure you are using Internet Explorer. If your version of Internet Explorer is lower than 10, then you need to run the 32-bit version (to do this, open the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer and run the iexplore.exe file).

If you're using Windows 10, make sure you're not opening the Microsoft Edge browser, which has an icon very similar to Internet Explorer.

2. It is necessary to add ETP addresses to Trusted nodes.

  • In Internet Explorer, “Tools” - “Internet Options” (“Browser Options”); go to the “Security” tab;
  • select “Trusted Sites” (“Trusted Sites”); click the “Nodes” button (“Sites”);
  • uncheck the box below “For all nodes in this zone, server verification (https:) is required” (not all ETPs work over a secure https:// connection);
  • In the line “Add the next node to the zone” enter the ETP address (via http and https);
  • insert the website address, after the double slash // put *. and website address. The entered address should take the form “http://*.kontur.ru/”;
  • Click the "Add" and "OK" buttons.

3. For the “Trusted Sites” zone, allow the use of Active-X controls.

  • in Internet Explorer “Tools” - “Internet Options”; go to the “Security” tab; select “Trusted nodes”; click the “Other...” button;
  • In the “Active-X controls and connection modules” section, check “Enable” for all parameters.

4. Download and install CAPICOM-KB931906-v2102.

5. In IE 9 and higher, errors may occur that can be resolved by using the compatibility view (Go to Browser Options - Tools / compatibility view settings / add site address).

Note: these are general settings for all ETPs. On some sites, it is necessary to install additional components (for example, the KriptoPro EP browser Plug-in) necessary for the site to function correctly.

Innovations for working with special accounts

From October 1, 2018, the rules for securing applications and maintaining special accounts have changed. According to the new rules, the bank opens an account when it is convinced that the supplier is accredited at any of the sites approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. Also, now you need to carefully monitor the presence of a sufficient amount of security in the special account, since upon completion of accepting applications, the ETP sends a notification to the bank about blocking money to secure the application, and the bank blocks this amount in the participant’s account, if it exists there. If a participant is actively searching for contracts and placing bids on several procedures at once, then the ETP may not notify the participant about the lack of funds, and there will no longer be an opportunity to replenish the account.
