XML Signing Certificates Preferences

Oxygen XML Author provides two types of keystores for certificates that are used for digital signatures of XML documents: Java KeyStore (JKS) and Public-Key Cryptography Standards version 12 (PKCS-12). A keystore file is protected by a password. To configure a certificate keystore, open the Preferences dialog box (Options ⇒ Preferences) and go to XML ⇒ XML Signing Certificates. You can customize the following parameters of a keystore:

• Keystore type - The type of keystore that Oxygen XML Author uses (JKS or PKCS-12).
• Keystore file - The location of the imported file.
• Keystore password - The password that is used for protecting the privacy of the stored keys.
• Certificate alias - The alias used for storing the key entry (the certificate or the private key) inside the keystore.
• Private key password - The private key password of the certificate (required only for JKS keystores).
• Validate - Press this button to verify the configured keystore and the validity of the certificate.
