hello people I run cert-tools, and can’t create unsigned certificate, I run command instantiate-certificate-batch -c conf.ini like in documentation, and the result is here ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/blockcerts/original/1X/050ac1836ffc2b596758f690d031aff8f7775c6c.png) but when I go to the unsigned\_certificates folder I don’t see nothing like this. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/blockcerts/original/1X/1025754fe7964150b95f17bcde9f184ffd6e5bac.png) my conf.ini is here. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/blockcerts/original/1X/05988846c259084d71666376174ea093657ca294.png) please help me. regards Angel ---

Did you put any data on your roster (utepsa.csv) ? Also did you generate your template? ---

Hi reypadilla. yes, I did put data in my utepsa.csv file, like this ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/blockcerts/original/1X/746ea3c44c665dbdc7371d03fd6b98f8e3711169.png) yes I did generate my template succesfully, like this ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/blockcerts/original/1X/3113467f854197439b26010578e358eb90324266.png) do you know what happen with this problem, please regards Angel ---

Can you try to use the default roster and default configuration for conf.ini ? Also in conf.ini comment this out by adding # on the start, so you don’t need to add anything on the roster. > additional\_per\_recipient\_fields = {“fields”: [{“path”: “$.assertion.evidence”,“value”: “_|EVIDENCE|_”,“csv\_column”: “evidence”}]} your roster…csv should look like this > name,pubkey,identity > John Doe, 1asdsdbks3fdf, [johondoe@email.com](mailto:johondoe@email.com) ---

Hi Angel, I did a quick test and cloned cert-tool and it looks like everything has change and I’m getting the same no certificate on the folder. I’ll see what I can do If I can manage to generate an unsigned certificate otherwise may need to contact the main dev. My old cert-tool is still working though… ---

Hi folks, I took a look and there was an issue with determining the base path (relative to the config file). I just fixed, confirmed it works, and pushed an update. Please resync and retry. - Kim
