# 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.
