Create XML Signature with External XML Reference

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

Demonstrates how to create an XML digital signature where the referenced data is external. In this case, the data is an XML file located at the following URL: https://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/helloWorld.xml AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

; This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; This example inserts an XML signature in the following XML:

; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
; <abc>
;   <xyz>
; 	<name>helloWorld.xml</name>
; 	<url>https://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/helloWorld.xml</url>
;   </xyz>
; </abc>

; Build the above XML to be signed.
$oXml = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Xml")
$oXml.Tag = "abc"
$oXml.UpdateChildContent "xyz|name","helloWorld.xml"
$oXml.UpdateChildContent "xyz|url","https://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/helloWorld.xml"

$oCert = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Cert")

$bSuccess = $oCert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/test_secret.pfx","secret")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oCert.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$oGen = ObjCreate("Chilkat.XmlDSigGen")

; Indicate the location within the XML the Signature will be inserted.
$oGen.SigLocation = "abc|xyz"

; Get the content of the XML data to be referenced.
$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")

    Exit
EndIf

If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oGen.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Provide the private key for signing via the certificate, and indicate that
; we want the base64 of the certificate embedded in the KeyInfo.

$bSuccess = $oGen.SetX509Cert($oCert,$bUsePrivateKey)
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oGen.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Indicate we want an indented signature for readability.
; This can be removed after debugging is finished..

; Now create and insert the Signature
$oSbXml = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")

EndIf

; Examine the XML with the digital signature inserted
