It was just yesterday. To sign in you need @clave, but to actually sign the document, you need AutoFirma, that's the java-based tool.

That's strange, I've never needed @clave nor AutoFirm (and in fact, I've never even heard of AutoFirma before). I just use the digital certificate (for signing in and for signing documents) received from the government to sign everything directly in the browser, without any Java or anything else really.

Well yes, your comment outlines the issue. Why is there three different certificates supposed to do the same thing?
