void loadPKCS7Certificate
 ( string keyStorePath,
 string keyAlias,
 string keyStorePassword,
 string signatureAlgorithm )
ParameterDescription
keyStorePath The path to the Java keystore file to be used
keyAlias The alias for the certificate
keyStorePassword The password for the keystore
signatureAlgorithm The algorithm to be used for signing
ReturnsNothing

Hint!

It is recommended that you use this function in the initialize function block. 

signPKCS7

Signs a bytearray using the previously loaded PKCS7 certificate.

bytearray signPKCS7  ( bytearray content)
ParameterDescription

content

A byte array of the content to be signed with the certiticate loaded by the loadPKCS7Certificate function.

Returns

A bytearray with the signed content.


Example - Using signPKCS7

initialize { 
	loadPKCS7Certificate("/etc/keystores/keystore.jks",
 	"certificateA", "keystoreAndAliasPassword", "SHA1withRSA") 
}
consume { 
	bytearray baToSign; 
	strToBA(baToSign, "Hello World!"); 
	input.response = signPKCS7(baToSign); 
	udrRoute(input) 
}
