    Nuxeo Platform Signature

    This is a digital signature plugin for signing PDF files. It provides multiple functionalities related to digital signing of documents, among others:

    1. to create user certificates and store them within the Nuxeo CAP Instance.
    2. to sign pdf documents
    3. to share/download the local root certificate used for signing all documents within the domain

    Building and deploying

    To see the list of all commands available for building and deploying, use the following:

    $ ant usage
    

    How to build

    You can build Nuxeo Digital Signature plugin with:

    $ ant build
    

    If you want to build and launch the tests, do it with:

    $ ant build-with-tests
    

    How to deploy

    Configure the build.properties files (starting from the build.properties.sample file to be found in the current folder), to point your Tomcat instance:

    $ cp build.properties.sample build.properties
    $ vi build.properties
    

    You can then deploy Nuxeo Digital Signature to your Tomcat instance with:

    $ ant deploy-tomcat
    

    You can also take all generated jar files (currently 3, present in the target directories of all submodules of this project), copy them into $NUXEO_HOME/templates/custom/bundles/ and activate the "custom" template.

    Project Structure

    This project can be divided conceptually into 3 parts:

    1. certificate generation (low-level PKI object operations, CA operations)

    2. certificate persistence (storing and retrieving keystores containing certificates inside nuxeo directories)

    3. pdf signing with an existing certificate

    Configuration:

    1. Install your root keystore file in a secured directory

    To do initial testing you can use the keystore specified in: ./nuxeo-platform-signature-core/src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/root-contrib.xml

    1. You might have to modify your server system's java encryption configuration by installing JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files needed for passwords longer than 7 characters,

    Note: cryptography exportation laws differ between countries so make sure you are using adequate encryption configuration, libraries and tools.
