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

[Requires Janus Network Security]

This callable method signs an X.509 client certificate request and adds the lines of the signed certificate to the end of a Stringlist. It requires a valid private key, certificate request, and signer.

Syntax

[%rc =] sl:AppendSignedClientCertificate( [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 elsewhere in Return codes.
sl A Stringlist object.
PrivateKey This name allowed argument is a string or Stringlist that contains the private key to be used for signing.
Request This name allowed argument is a string or Stringlist that contains the base64 encoded X.509 client certificate request.
Signer This name allowed argument is a string or Stringlist that contains a base64 encoded CA (certifying authority) X.509 certificate. If not specified, the Request value 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 values are: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 (Model 204 7.7 and later), and SHA512 (Model 204 7.7 and later). The default value is SHA256 as of Model 204 7.7 (and zap maintenance for versions 7.6 and 7.5).

Note: Although supported and formerly the default, most modern browsers are deprecating SHA1.

Usage notes

For some background information concerning certificates, see Public-key cryptography and Certificate signing request.
