'  Note: The trailing comma in the StringToSign is intentional and important. This indicates that the 
'  string to sign will end with a "\n".

'  Also note: The names in the StringToSign are case sensitive.  The names
'  specified in the 1st argument in the calls to SetNonTokenParam and SetTokenParam should
'  match a name listed in StringToSign.
