SignedCertificate (String function)

Sign a certificate request (String class)

[Requires Janus Network Security]

This page is under construction.

This callable method generates a signed SSL client certificate from a given certificate request and private key. It adds the lines of the signed certificate to the end of the object certificate-request and optionally to an output string variable.

Syntax

[%signedCert =] string:SignedCertificate( [PrivateKey=] string, - [[Signer=] string], - [[StartDate=] string], - [[EndDate=] string], - [[SerialNumber=] number], - [SignatureAlgorithm= digestAlgorithm]) Throws PKCSError

Syntax terms

%signedCert	string
string	A string hat contains a base-64 encoded X.509 certificate request.
PrivateKey	This name allowed parameter is a Longstring that contains an RSA-generated private key. This value must be less than or equal to 2048 bits.
Signer	This optional, name allowed, argument is a string that contains the base-64 encoded CA (certifying authority) X.509 certificate. If not specified, ???????????????????, 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. 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.
