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. |
Return codes
| 0 | All is well. |
|---|---|
| 3 | Out of CCATEMP. |
| 5 | Stringlist identifier missing. |
| 6 | Invalid Stringlist identifier. |
| 7 | Insufficient storage. |
| 10 | Private key Stringlist identifier missing. |
| 11 | Invalid private key Stringlist identifier. |
| 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. |
| 19 | Invalid end date. |
| 20 | Invalid serial number. |
| 21 | Private key does not match signer public key. |
