Data items
The data items that
Credential
variables
contain.
alias
A
field name
value
that represents the name used to identify the credential.
certificate
A
byte
value
that represents the certificate required for signing when using
the signing service provider interface (SPI).
credentialType
An
int
value
that represents the credential type. These values are valid:
-
ALIAS_CERTNKEY_NONE:
-
The alias is provided by configuring the certificate and
key values in Trust Store. The signing SPI is not queried for an
alias.
-
CERT_NONE_KEY:
-
The certificate is not provided and Trust Store is not queried. The
key value comes from the signing SPI.
spiName
A
string
value
that represents the name of the signing SPI.
Datatype specific settings
Properties for configuring credential details.
Use SPI
Select this option to use the credentials from the
SPI. When this option is deselected, local credentials are used.
By default, the option is deselected.
Alias
Sets
an alternative name for a credential managed by the Signature service.
SPI Name
Sets the name of the signing server provider interface.
This name is provided to the Signature service to extend the digital
signature functionality when credentials are not exposed to the
LiveCycle server.
Certificate
Sets
the location of the certificate on the file system. This option
is available when the Use SPI option is selected.
When you
click the ellipsis button
, the
Open dialog box opens. In the dialog box, you can select a file
from your computer or from a network location. During run time,
if you selected a file from a location on your computer, it must
exist in the same location on the LiveCycle server.
SPI Properties
Sets the location of the properties file to
pass custom inputs to an implementation of the SPI. This option
is available when the Use SPI option is selected.
If you
provide a literal value, clicking the ellipsis button
opens
the SPI properties dialog box. (See
SPI Properties
.) In the dialog box, add, remove, and edit
the keys and values for each SPI property. The SPI implementation
determines the keys that you provide. For information about creating
custom service providers, see
Programming with LiveCycleES2.5
