Signature for XML file

Posted on 7 Jun 2018 08:52:09 by Andrey Baludin 3,941

Hello Team. I really stuck in a rut with next problem:

  1. I generate XML file from NAV 2018.(web request)
  2. I have *.crt and *cer files (signed certificate)
  3. I need to generate signature for XML file using *.cer or *.crt file and I have no idea how to do it using NAV.

I even agree to use C/AL and dotnet variables in NAV2018 instead of AL and extensions if there is any way to generate signature (because i suppose that it's impossible to do without dotnet).

Any help will be appreciate.

    RE: Signature for XML file

    A question.

    And how or where are you setting the certificate and password to sign the document?

    Thank you ever so much

    RE: Signature for XML file

    Can you list variable types?

    Hi Andrey, I've checked and my addin performs criptography with signed certificate (with RSACryptoServiceProvider).

    I think this is not exactly what you was searching. Nice to see that you've solved your problem.

    RE: Signature for XML file

    And the answer is:

    1. CSPParams := CSPParams.CspParameters(1, 'Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0', 'DevRootCA');
    2.  
    3. RSA := RSA.RSACryptoServiceProvider(CSPParams);
    4.  
    5. XmlDocument := XmlDocument.XmlDocument;
    6. XmlDocument.PreserveWhitespace(FALSE);
    7. XmlDocument.Load(XmlTextReader.XmlTextReader('C:\Temp\Data.xml'));
    8.  
    9. SignedXml := SignedXml.SignedXml(XmlDocument);
    10. SignedXml.SigningKey := RSA;
    11.  
    12. Reference := Reference.Reference;
    13. Reference.Uri := '';
    14.  
    15. Env := Env.XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransform;
    16. Reference.AddTransform(Env);
    17.  
    18. SignedXml.AddReference(Reference);
    19.  
    20. SignedXml.ComputeSignature;
    21. XmlDigSignature := SignedXml.GetXml;
    22. MESSAGE(XmlDigSignature.InnerXml);

    RE: Signature for XML file

    So now i have next code:

    1. CSPParams := CSPParams.CspParameters;
    2.  
    3. // Here is main issue ->
    4. //CSPParams.KeyContainerName = 'DevRootCA';
    5. //<-
    6.  
    7. RSA := RSA.RSACryptoServiceProvider(CSPParams);
    8.  
    9. XmlDocument := XmlDocument.XmlDocument;
    10. XmlDocument.PreserveWhitespace(FALSE);
    11. XmlDocument.Load(XmlTextReader.XmlTextReader('C:\Temp\Data.xml'));
    12.  
    13. SignedXml := SignedXml.SignedXml(XmlDocument);
    14. SignedXml.SigningKey(RSA);
    15.  
    16. Reference := Reference.Reference;
    17. Reference.Uri := '';
    18.  
    19. Env := Env.XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransform;
    20. Reference.AddTransform(Env);
    21.  
    22. SignedXml.AddReference(Reference);
    23.  
    24. SignedXml.ComputeSignature;
    25. XmlDigSignature := SignedXml.GetXml;
    26. MESSAGE(XmlDigSignature.InnerXml);


    I Have dotnet variable CSPParams which I took from mscorlib:

    System.Security.Cryptography.CspParameters.'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

    And the problem is that it doesn't have .KeyContainerName field. So I can't set it and get the key. As I understood - I just need to set SSL certificate name there? Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

    I'm moving through next instruction:

    Stefano Demiliani have you had a chance to look for code? I'll be very appreciate.

    I found System.Security.Cryptography.Xml

    Thanks for inspiring me!
