+ | Description
+ |    The Signing Tool, signtool, creates digital signatures and uses a Java
+ |    Archive (JAR) file to associate the signatures with files in a directory.
+ |    Electronic software distribution over any network involves potential
+ |    security problems. To help address some of these problems, you can
+ |    associate digital signatures with the files in a JAR archive. Digital
+ |    signatures allow SSL-enabled clients to perform two important operations:
+ |    \* Confirm the identity of the individual, company, or other entity whose
+ |    digital signature is associated with the files
+ |    \* Check whether the files have been tampered with since being signed
+ |    If you have a signing certificate, you can use Netscape Signing Tool to
+ |    digitally sign files and package them as a JAR file. An object-signing
+ |    certificate is a special kind of certificate that allows you to associate
+ |    your digital signature with one or more files.
+ |    An individual file can potentially be signed with multiple digital
+ |    signatures. For example, a commercial software developer might sign the
+ |    files that constitute a software product to prove that the files are
+ |    indeed from a particular company. A network administrator manager might
+ |    sign the same files with an additional digital signature based on a
+ |    company-generated certificate to indicate that the product is approved for
+ |    use within the company.
+ |    The significance of a digital signature is comparable to the significance
+ |    of a handwritten signature. Once you have signed a file, it is difficult
+ |    to claim later that you didn't sign it. In some situations, a digital
+ |    signature may be considered as legally binding as a handwritten signature.
+ |    Therefore, you should take great care to ensure that you can stand behind
+ |    any file you sign and distribute.
+ |    For example, if you are a software developer, you should test your code to
+ |    make sure it is virus-free before signing it. Similarly, if you are a
+ |    network administrator, you should make sure, before signing any code, that
+ |    it comes from a reliable source and will run correctly with the software
+ |    installed on the machines to which you are distributing it.
+ |    Before you can use Netscape Signing Tool to sign files, you must have an
+ |    object-signing certificate, which is a special certificate whose
+ |    associated private key is used to create digital signatures. For testing
+ |    purposes only, you can create an object-signing certificate with Netscape
+ |    Signing Tool 1.3. When testing is finished and you are ready to
+ |    disitribute your software, you should obtain an object-signing certificate
+ |    from one of two kinds of sources:
+ |    \* An independent certificate authority (CA) that authenticates your
+ |    identity and charges you a fee. You typically get a certificate from an
+ |    independent CA if you want to sign software that will be distributed over
+ |    the Internet.
+ |    \* CA server software running on your corporate intranet or extranet.
+ |    Netscape Certificate Management System provides a complete management
+ |    solution for creating, deploying, and managing certificates, including CAs
+ |    that issue object-signing certificates.
+ |    You must also have a certificate for the CA that issues your signing
+ |    certificate before you can sign files. If the certificate authority's
+ |    certificate isn't already installed in your copy of Communicator, you
+ |    typically install it by clicking the appropriate link on the certificate
+ |    authority's web site, for example on the page from which you initiated
+ |    enrollment for your signing certificate. This is the case for some test
+ |    certificates, as well as certificates issued by Netscape Certificate
+ |    Management System: you must download the CA certificate in addition to
+ |    obtaining your own signing certificate. CA certificates for several
+ |    certificate authorities are preinstalled in the Communicator certificate
+ |    database.
+ |    When you receive an object-signing certificate for your own use, it is
+ |    automatically installed in your copy of the Communicator client software.
+ |    Communicator supports the public-key cryptography standard known as PKCS
+ |    #12, which governs key portability. You can, for example, move an
+ |    object-signing certificate and its associated private key from one
+ |    computer to another on a credit-card-sized device called a smart card.
+ | Options
+ |    -b basename
+ |            Specifies the base filename for the .rsa and .sf files in the
+ |            META-INF directory to conform with the JAR format. For example, -b
+ |            signatures causes the files to be named signatures.rsa and
+ |            signatures.sf. The default is signtool.
+ |    -c#
+ |            Specifies the compression level for the -J or -Z option. The
+ |            symbol # represents a number from 0 to 9, where 0 means no
+ |            compression and 9 means maximum compression. The higher the level
+ |            of compression, the smaller the output but the longer the
+ |            operation takes. If the -c# option is not used with either the -J
+ |            or the -Z option, the default compression value used by both the
+ |            -J and -Z options is 6.
+ |    -d certdir
+ |            Specifies your certificate database directory; that is, the
+ |            directory in which you placed your key3.db and cert7.db files. To
+ |            specify the current directory, use "-d." (including the period).
+ |            The Unix version of signtool assumes ~/.netscape unless told
+ |            otherwise. The NT version of signtool always requires the use of
+ |            the -d option to specify where the database files are located.
+ |    -e extension
+ |            Tells signtool to sign only files with the given extension; for
+ |            example, use -e".class" to sign only Java class files. Note that
+ |            with Netscape Signing Tool version 1.1 and later this option can
+ |            appear multiple times on one command line, making it possible to
+ |            specify multiple file types or classes to include.
+ |    -f commandfile
+ |            Specifies a text file containing Netscape Signing Tool options and
+ |            arguments in keyword=value format. All options and arguments can
+ |            be expressed through this file. For more information about the
+ |            syntax used with this file, see "Tips and Techniques".
+ |    -i scriptname
+ |            Specifies the name of an installer script for SmartUpdate. This
+ |            script installs files from the JAR archive in the local system
+ |            after SmartUpdate has validated the digital signature. For more
+ |            details, see the description of -m that follows. The -i option
+ |            provides a straightforward way to provide this information if you
+ |            don't need to specify any metadata other than an installer script.
+ |    -j directory
+ |            Specifies a special JavaScript directory. This option causes the
+ |            specified directory to be signed and tags its entries as inline
+ |            JavaScript. This special type of entry does not have to appear in
+ |            the JAR file itself. Instead, it is located in the HTML page
+ |            containing the inline scripts. When you use signtool -v, these
+ |            entries are displayed with the string NOT PRESENT.
+ |    -k key ... directory
+ |            Specifies the nickname (key) of the certificate you want to sign
+ |            with and signs the files in the specified directory. The directory
+ |            to sign is always specified as the last command-line argument.
+ |            Thus, it is possible to write signtool -k MyCert -d . signdir You
+ |            may have trouble if the nickname contains a single quotation mark.
+ |            To avoid problems, escape the quotation mark using the escape
+ |            conventions for your platform. It's also possible to use the -k
+ |            option without signing any files or specifying a directory. For
+ |            example, you can use it with the -l option to get detailed
+ |            information about a particular signing certificate.
+ |    -G nickname
+ |            Generates a new private-public key pair and corresponding
+ |            object-signing certificate with the given nickname. The newly
+ |            generated keys and certificate are installed into the key and
+ |            certificate databases in the directory specified by the -d option.
+ |            With the NT version of Netscape Signing Tool, you must use the -d
+ |            option with the -G option. With the Unix version of Netscape
+ |            Signing Tool, omitting the -d option causes the tool to install
+ |            the keys and certificate in the Communicator key and certificate
+ |            databases. If you are installing the keys and certificate in the
+ |            Communicator databases, you must exit Communicator before using
+ |            this option; otherwise, you risk corrupting the databases. In all
+ |            cases, the certificate is also output to a file named x509.cacert,
+ |            which has the MIME-type application/x-x509-ca-cert. Unlike
+ |            certificates normally used to sign finished code to be distributed
+ |            over a network, a test certificate created with -G is not signed
+ |            by a recognized certificate authority. Instead, it is self-signed.
+ |            In addition, a single test signing certificate functions as both
+ |            an object-signing certificate and a CA. When you are using it to
+ |            sign objects, it behaves like an object-signing certificate. When
+ |            it is imported into browser software such as Communicator, it
+ |            behaves like an object-signing CA and cannot be used to sign
+ |            objects. The -G option is available in Netscape Signing Tool 1.0
+ |            and later versions only. By default, it produces only RSA
+ |            certificates with 1024-byte keys in the internal token. However,
+ |            you can use the -s option specify the required key size and the -t
+ |            option to specify the token. For more information about the use of
+ |            the -G option, see "Generating Test Object-Signing
+ |            Certificates""Generating Test Object-Signing Certificates" on page
+ |            1241.
+ |    -l
+ |            Lists signing certificates, including issuing CAs. If any of your
+ |            certificates are expired or invalid, the list will so specify.
+ |            This option can be used with the -k option to list detailed
+ |            information about a particular signing certificate. The -l option
+ |            is available in Netscape Signing Tool 1.0 and later versions only.
+ |    -J
+ |            Signs a directory of HTML files containing JavaScript and creates
+ |            as many archive files as are specified in the HTML tags. Even if
+ |            signtool creates more than one archive file, you need to supply
+ |            the key database password only once. The -J option is available
+ |            only in Netscape Signing Tool 1.0 and later versions. The -J
+ |            option cannot be used at the same time as the -Z option. If the
+ |            -c# option is not used with the -J option, the default compression
+ |            value is 6. Note that versions 1.1 and later of Netscape Signing
+ |            Tool correctly recognizes the CODEBASE attribute, allows paths to
+ |            be expressed for the CLASS and SRC attributes instead of filenames
+ |            only, processes LINK tags and parses HTML correctly, and offers
+ |            clearer error messages.
+ |    -L
+ |            Lists the certificates in your database. An asterisk appears to
+ |            the left of the nickname for any certificate that can be used to
+ |            sign objects with signtool.
+ |    --leavearc
+ |            Retains the temporary .arc (archive) directories that the -J
+ |            option creates. These directories are automatically erased by
+ |            default. Retaining the temporary directories can be an aid to
+ |            debugging.
+ |    -m metafile
+ |            Specifies the name of a metadata control file. Metadata is signed
+ |            information attached either to the JAR archive itself or to files
+ |            within the archive. This metadata can be any ASCII string, but is
+ |            used mainly for specifying an installer script. The metadata file
+ |            contains one entry per line, each with three fields: field #1:
+ |            file specification, or + if you want to specify global metadata
+ |            (that is, metadata about the JAR archive itself or all entries in
+ |            the archive) field #2: the name of the data you are specifying;
+ |            for example: Install-Script field #3: data corresponding to the
+ |            name in field #2 For example, the -i option uses the equivalent of
+ |            this line: + Install-Script: script.js This example associates a
+ |            MIME type with a file: movie.qt MIME-Type: video/quicktime For
+ |            information about the way installer script information appears in
+ |            the manifest file for a JAR archive, see The JAR Format on
+ |            Netscape DevEdge.
+ |    -M
+ |            Lists the PKCS #11 modules available to signtool, including smart
+ |            cards. The -M option is available in Netscape Signing Tool 1.0 and
+ |            later versions only. For information on using Netscape Signing
+ |            Tool with smart cards, see "Using Netscape Signing Tool with Smart
+ |            Cards". For information on using the -M option to verify
+ |            FIPS-140-1 validated mode, see "Netscape Signing Tool and
+ |            FIPS-140-1".
+ |    --norecurse
+ |            Blocks recursion into subdirectories when signing a directory's
+ |            contents or when parsing HTML.
+ |    -o
+ |            Optimizes the archive for size. Use this only if you are signing
+ |            very large archives containing hundreds of files. This option
+ |            makes the manifest files (required by the JAR format) considerably
+ |            smaller, but they contain slightly less information.
+ |    --outfile outputfile
+ |            Specifies a file to receive redirected output from Netscape
+ |            Signing Tool.
+ |    -p password
+ |            Specifies a password for the private-key database. Note that the
+ |            password entered on the command line is displayed as plain text.
+ |    -s keysize
+ |            Specifies the size of the key for generated certificate. Use the
+ |            -M option to find out what tokens are available. The -s option can
+ |            be used with the -G option only.
+ |    -t token
+ |            Specifies which available token should generate the key and
+ |            receive the certificate. Use the -M option to find out what tokens
+ |            are available. The -t option can be used with the -G option only.
+ |    -v archive
+ |            Displays the contents of an archive and verifies the cryptographic
+ |            integrity of the digital signatures it contains and the files with
+ |            which they are associated. This includes checking that the
+ |            certificate for the issuer of the object-signing certificate is
+ |            listed in the certificate database, that the CA's digital
+ |            signature on the object-signing certificate is valid, that the
+ |            relevant certificates have not expired, and so on.
+ |    --verbosity value
+ |            Sets the quantity of information Netscape Signing Tool generates
+ |            in operation. A value of 0 (zero) is the default and gives full
+ |            information. A value of -1 suppresses most messages, but not error
+ |            messages.
+ |    -w archive
+ |            Displays the names of signers of any files in the archive.
+ |    -x directory
+ |            Excludes the specified directory from signing. Note that with
+ |            Netscape Signing Tool version 1.1 and later this option can appear
+ |            multiple times on one command line, making it possible to specify
+ |            several particular directories to exclude.
+ |    -z
+ |            Tells signtool not to store the signing time in the digital
+ |            signature. This option is useful if you want the expiration date
+ |            of the signature checked against the current date and time rather
+ |            than the time the files were signed.
+ |    -Z jarfile
+ |            Creates a JAR file with the specified name. You must specify this
+ |            option if you want signtool to create the JAR file; it does not do
+ |            so automatically. If you don't specify -Z, you must use an
+ |            external ZIP tool to create the JAR file. The -Z option cannot be
+ |            used at the same time as the -J option. If the -c# option is not
+ |            used with the -Z option, the default compression value is 6.
+ | The Command File Format
+ |    Entries in a Netscape Signing Tool command file have this general format:
+ |    keyword=value Everything before the = sign on a single line is a keyword,
+ |    and everything from the = sign to the end of line is a value. The value
+ |    may include = signs; only the first = sign on a line is interpreted. Blank
+ |    lines are ignored, but white space on a line with keywords and values is
+ |    assumed to be part of the keyword (if it comes before the equal sign) or
+ |    part of the value (if it comes after the first equal sign). Keywords are
+ |    case insensitive, values are generally case sensitive. Since the = sign
+ |    and newline delimit the value, it should not be quoted.

+ |    Using Netscape Signing Tool with a ZIP Utility
+ |    To use Netscape Signing Tool with a ZIP utility, you must have the utility
+ |    in your path environment variable. You should use the zip.exe utility
+ |    rather than pkzip.exe, which cannot handle long filenames. You can use a
+ |    ZIP utility instead of the -Z option to package a signed archive into a
+ |    JAR file after you have signed it:
+ |  cd signdir
+ |    zip -r ../myjar.jar \*
+ |    adding: META-INF/ (stored 0%)
+ |    adding: META-INF/manifest.mf (deflated 15%)
+ |    adding: META-INF/signtool.sf (deflated 28%)
+ |    adding: META-INF/signtool.rsa (stored 0%)
+ |    adding: text.txt (stored 0%)
+ |    Generating the Keys and Certificate
+ |    The signtool option -G generates a new public-private key pair and
+ |    certificate. It takes the nickname of the new certificate as an argument.
+ |    The newly generated keys and certificate are installed into the key and
+ |    certificate databases in the directory specified by the -d option. With
+ |    the NT version of Netscape Signing Tool, you must use the -d option with
+ |    the -G option. With the Unix version of Netscape Signing Tool, omitting
+ |    the -d option causes the tool to install the keys and certificate in the
+ |    Communicator key and certificate databases. In all cases, the certificate
+ |    is also output to a file named x509.cacert, which has the MIME-type
+ |    application/x-x509-ca-cert.
+ |    Certificates contain standard information about the entity they identify,
+ |    such as the common name and organization name. Netscape Signing Tool
+ |    prompts you for this information when you run the command with the -G
+ |    option. However, all of the requested fields are optional for test
+ |    certificates. If you do not enter a common name, the tool provides a
+ |    default name. In the following example, the user input is in boldface:
+ |  signtool -G MyTestCert
+ |  using certificate directory: /u/someuser/.netscape
+ |  Enter certificate information. All fields are optional. Acceptable
+ |  characters are numbers, letters, spaces, and apostrophes.

+ |  Exported certificate to x509.raw and x509.cacert.
+ |    The certificate information is read from standard input. Therefore, the
+ |    information can be read from a file using the redirection operator (<) in
+ |    some operating systems. To create a file for this purpose, enter each of
+ |    the seven input fields, in order, on a separate line. Make sure there is a
+ |    newline character at the end of the last line. Then run signtool with
+ |    standard input redirected from your file as follows:
+ |  signtool -G MyTestCert inputfile
+ |    The prompts show up on the screen, but the responses will be automatically
+ |    read from the file. The password will still be read from the console
+ |    unless you use the -p option to give the password on the command line.
+ |    Using the -M Option to List Smart Cards
+ |    You can use the -M option to list the PKCS #11 modules, including smart
+ |    cards, that are available to signtool:
+ |  signtool -d "c:\netscape\users\jsmith" -M
+ |  using certificate directory: c:\netscape\users\username

+ |                            slots: 2 slots attached
+ |                            status: loaded
+ |            slot: Communicator Internal Cryptographic Services Version 4.0
+ |           token: Communicator Generic Crypto Svcs
+ |            slot: Communicator User Private Key and Certificate Services
+ |           token: Communicator Certificate DB

+ |    Using Netscape Signing Tool and a Smart Card to Sign Files
+ |    The signtool command normally takes an argument of the -k option to
+ |    specify a signing certificate. To sign with a smart card, you supply only
+ |    the fully qualified name of the certificate.
+ |    To see fully qualified certificate names when you run Communicator, click
+ |    the Security button in Navigator, then click Yours under Certificates in
+ |    the left frame. Fully qualified names are of the format smart
+ |    card:certificate, for example "MyCard:My Signing Cert". You use this name
+ |    with the -k argument as follows:
+ |  signtool -k "MyCard:My Signing Cert" directory
+ |    Verifying FIPS Mode
+ |    Use the -M option to verify that you are using the FIPS-140-1 module.
+ |  signtool -d "c:\netscape\users\jsmith" -M
+ |  using certificate directory: c:\netscape\users\jsmith

+ |    module:
+ |  signtool -d "c:\netscape\users\jsmith" -M
