Syntax
"signingKey": "key"
Parameters

key

A cryptographic raw key as a base64-encoded string, or as a file path to the raw key binary file (string). Use an empty string ("") If the device certificate is to be self-signed.

For use with

The product configuration file for all eSecIP editions.

Description

Use this field to provide the intermediate PKI signing key that the Security Appliance will use to sign the device certificate when it is created. ECC-256 curve P_256 keys are supported.

This field is mandatory in a certificates configuration object. Because of the extremely sensitive nature of this key, providing it directly in the product configuration file is strongly discouraged.

Example
"signingKey": ".\\secureDisk\\certificate\\PKI\\signingKey.bin"
