System Response

This is only a warning: The system proceeds with the creation of the
digital signature even if the PSE file is not protected by a password.

How to fix this error?

Use PSE-files without a password protection for test purpose only. In
productive systems, make sure you use a PSE file that requires a
password/PIN to be accessed.
Important note: It is rightly recommended to use a file protected by a
password to safeguard the integrity of your productive system.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Procedure for System Administrators

Create a PSE-file with PIN if that file has to be used for a productive
use. You should use a different password/PIN from the standard password
set from Mexican legal authorities. Create also the corresponding server
credentials to enable the system to access the file.
