// Specify the format of the string to sign.
// Each comma character in the following string represents a LF ("\n") character.
// The names specified in the StringToSign are replaced with the values specified
// in the subsequent calls to SetTokenParam and SetNonTokenParam,.

// 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.
