Support for multiple Adobe Sign integration keys in TAP
TAP lets you connect multiple Adobe Sign integration keys to the same tenant. This is useful when:
- Your organization has distinct Adobe Sign accounts for different business units or regions.
- You operate a master/parent Adobe Sign account that manages one or more child (sub-account) environments.
Because each integration key is tied to the Adobe Sign account that was active in the browser at the moment the key was generated, administrators must log in to the correct Adobe Sign account before creating or refreshing a key.

Troubleshooting Tips
Problem Description:
If you run into an error 'Invalid Credentials' or 'Invalid Request' or the account does not save and remains on the configuration screen:
Please check the client AdobeSign server instance. If it is in na1 or na2 or na3, then update the Provisional porting setting 'ESDefaultEndpointBaseUrl' accordingly.
Ex : https://secure.na2.echosign.com or https://secure.na3.echosign.com
Solution:
After ESCallBackServiceURL is updated in Provisional Portal, e-signature key has to be reactivated for the new URL to be reflected.
Problem Description:
