AppendSignedCertificate (Stringlist function)

Add base64 encoded signed certificate to a Stringlist (Stringlist class)

[Requires Janus Network Security]

This callable method signs an X.509 certificate request and adds the lines of the signed certificate to the end of a Stringlist.

Syntax

[%rc =] sl:AppendSignedCertificate( [PrivateKey=] string, [Request=] string, - [[Signer=] string], - [[StartDate=] string], - [[EndDate=] string], - [[SerialNumber=] number], - [SignatureAlgorithm= digestAlgorithm])

Syntax terms

%rc	An, optional, numeric variable that is set to zero if the function is a success. The possible return codes are described below in Return codes.
sl	A Stringlist object.
PrivateKey	This name allowed argument is a Stringlist that contains the private key to be used for signing.
Request	This name allowed argument is a Stringlist that contains the base-64 encoded X.509 certificate request.
Signer	This optional, name allowed, argument is a Stringlist that contains the base-64 encoded CA (certifying authority) X.509 certificate. If not specified, the Request Stringlist is used: that is, the certificate will be self-signed.
StartDate	This optional, name allowed, argument is a string that contains the Start date for the signed certificate (in YYMMDDHHMISS format). The default is today's date.
EndDate	This optional, name allowed, argument is a string that contains the End date for the signed certificate (in YYMMDDHHMISS format). The default is 24 hours from StartDate.
SerialNumber	This optional, name allowed, argument is a numeric value that is the Serial number for the signed certificate. The default is a number guaranteed to increase by 1 for every call and guaranteed to increase from run to run, unless there is an extreme amount of signing occurrences.
SignatureAlgorithm	This optional, name required, argument is a DigestAlgorithm enumeration value. Valid options are: MD5, SHA1, SHA256. Note: Although supported, most modern browsers are deprecating SHA1. SHA256 is the Janus security default as of Model 204 version 7.5.

3	Out of CCATEMP.
5	Stringlist identifier missing.
6	Invalid Stringlist identifier.
7	Insufficient storage.
10	Private key Stringlist identifier missing.

12	Invalid private key Stringlist data (not correctly base-64 encoded).
13	Certificate request Stringlist identifier missing.
14	Invalid certificate request Stringlist identifier.
15	Invalid certificate request.
16	Invalid CA certificate Stringlist identifier.
17	Invalid CA certificate.
18	Invalid start date.
