Support for Digital Signature in Custom Signing
When you are configuring digital signature information in custom signing approach, use the Custom Sign Tool Location and Sign Tool Arguments settings field to specify the external sign tool’s location and argument respectively, which helps you to digitally sign your Windows-based installers via an external sign tool.
To specify digital signature information in custom signing approach:
| 1. | In the Advanced Designer, on the Project page, click on the Platforms. The Platforms view opens. |
| 2. | In the Windows area, under the Digital Signing setting, select the Custom option in the Signing Method setting field. |
| 3. | Specify the external sign tool's location and valid argument in the Custom Sign Tool Location and Sign Tool Arguments settings respectively, which are required in custom signing approach. |
As an alternative, to specify the external sign tool’s location and valid argument in the required subsettings of the Digital Signing setting, you can use build-time variables in these subsettings (that is, enclose the name of each variable within at symbols: @VariableName@). You can set build-time variables in the Variables view on the Project page using a .properties file, or as environment variables. For more information, see Resolving Variables at Build Time.
