    Description

    .CAR  file to archive

    Enter the path to locate the CAR file you want to sign. Alternately, you can click the Browse Server button to locate this file on your system.

    Sign archive as a specific user.

    UNIX only option.  If you are a UNIX user you can select  this option if you want the "sign archive processes" to run as a privileged user. When you select this option, two more text boxes appear.  One for user name and one for password. Enter any system account name in the User name text box and the corresponding account password in the Password text box. Note that the user name and password must match the existing user name and password for this system then the archive process will run as that user. If the user name and password do not match the existing user name and password for this system account the sign archive procedure will fail.

    Certificate

    Click the drop down list box to select the name of the certificate that you want to use to sign the CAR file.

    Certificate Password

    Enter the password that was assigned when the certificate was imported into ColdFusion.

 

  1. Click Sign to sign  the .car file. The extension .sign is appended to the .car file name. The signed car file is  stored in the same location as the unsigned .car file.
