SignFile Method
Signs a script using a digital signature.
Object.SignFile (FileName, Certificate, Store)
Arguments
- object
Scripting.Signer
- FileName
A string containing the name of the script file.
- Certificate
A string designating the author's certificate name.
- Store
An optional string designating the name of the certificate store. Typically certificates that contain private keys — i.e., certificates you can use for code signing — are in a certificate store called "my". The default value is "my".
Remarks
In order to sign a digital signature, the author must have a valid certificate.
Example
The following example demonstrates not only signature checking but also the command-line argument.
<job>
<runtime>
<named name="file" helpstring="the file to sign" required="true" type="string"/>
<named name="cert" helpstring="the name of the signing certificate" required="true" type="string"/>
<named name="store" helpstring="the name of the certificate store" required="false" type="string"/>
</runtime>
<script language="vbscript">
Dim Signer, File, Cert, Store
If Not (WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("cert") And WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("file")) Then
WScript.Arguments.ShowUsage
WScript.Quit
End If
Set Signer = CreateObject("Scripting.Signer")
File = WScript.Arguments.Named("file")
Cert = WScript.Arguments.Named("cert")
If WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("store") Then
Store = WScript.Arguments.Named("store")
Else
Store = "my"
End If
Signer.SignFile File, Cert, Store
</script>
</job>
