Demonstrates signing metadata documents using PKCS#11 tokens (such as smart cards or Hardware Security Modules).

This command line configuration example:

reads a file path/to/metadata.xml containing SAML metadata
signs that document using:
- a PKCS#11 token determined by
  - a PKCS#11 configuration file specifying the toke
  - a user password
  - an alias determining which of the token's keys to use
- a separate certificate read from path/to/certificate.pem
writes the results into the file path/to/output.xml

You can execute the example as follows:

Code Block

language	bash

$ .../mda.sh config.xml main

The example configuration file is as follows; it has been verified with MDA version 0.9.2:

Code Block

The PKCS#11 configuration file configures the Sun PKCS#11 bridge. Its contents are specific to the token and operating environment. For example:

Code Block

language	text
title	Example pkcs11.cfg

# PKCS#11 provider configuration for for OpenSC running under Mac OS X
name = OpenSC
library = /Library/OpenSC/lib/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so
