Foil 131 Signing Scripts-2

From Basic Principles of Java and Internet Security CPS616 Web Technologies -- Spring 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


The SCRIPT tags in the HTML pages can specify more than one JAR file; if so, signtool creates as many JAR files as it needs.
The signtool utility program helps to deal with certificate databases; for example signtool -L -d my_test_dir list the certificates stored in the certificate database *.db files in the specified directory. signtool -l -k nickname verifies an object-signing certificate with the specified nickname.
To sign a file using the Netscape Signing Tool;
1. Create an empty directory: % mkdir signdir
2. Put script files into it
3. Specify the name of your object-signing certificate and sign the directory:
% signtool -k MySignCert -Z testjar.jar signdir
