A
complex data type that represents a credential that is required
to sign or certify a PDF document. This data type is used in the Sign Signature Field operation operation provided by the Signature service.
For information about data that can be accessed using Xpath Expressions,
see Data items.
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 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 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 Adobe LiveCycle ES3.
