Queries related to TRACES Portal and Registration

Hi

I am not able to register the DSC despite many trials. I keep getting the error:

‘Error in establishing connection with TRACES Websocket Esigner. Please ensure that WebSigner Setup is installed and service is running on your machine and there are no proxies enabled on the browser while doing DSC activities’

Could you kindly help. I have tried all the instructions, as per below:

I have un-installed any previous versions of Java and emsigner.
I have installed Java 8, update 162 and 32 bit version on my Windows 10 machine
Downloaded TRACES-WebSigner-V2.0 and installed emsigner. The emsigner is running on my system.
Google Chrome is up to date. (Version 92.0.4515.131)
I have the DSC driver (e-pass 2003) installed.
I have rebooted and made sure the websigner (emsigner) is running.
When I go to my profile → Signature section, no window pops up, nothing loads, and if I click on ‘Request DSC’, I get the above error.

Could you point to me what I can do to make this work please. Do I need any physical device to generate tokens? I am logging in from the nri traces webpage. Thanks.
