Signature for XML file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Andrey Baludin 3,943

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.

    Hi Andrey,
     Why don't you use Azure Functions and call it from the NAV side

    Without using DotNet I think it's actually not possible. Personally for a task like that I've created a DotNet addin that I'm using from NAV.

    Is it possible for somebody to share .net code? Or show a libraries which can be used for this task?

    I found System.Security.Cryptography.Xml

    Thanks for inspiring me!

    Yes if you want I can share it. I've only to return at my office for doing that :)

    It'll be great!

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

    So now i have next code:

    CSPParams := CSPParams.CspParameters;

// Here is main issue ->
//CSPParams.KeyContainerName = 'DevRootCA';
//<-

RSA := RSA.RSACryptoServiceProvider(CSPParams);

XmlDocument := XmlDocument.XmlDocument;
XmlDocument.PreserveWhitespace(FALSE);
XmlDocument.Load(XmlTextReader.XmlTextReader('C:\Temp\Data.xml'));

SignedXml := SignedXml.SignedXml(XmlDocument);
SignedXml.SigningKey(RSA);

Reference := Reference.Reference;
Reference.Uri := '';

Env := Env.XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransform;
Reference.AddTransform(Env);

SignedXml.AddReference(Reference);

SignedXml.ComputeSignature;
XmlDigSignature := SignedXml.GetXml;
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:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../how-to-sign-xml-documents-with-digital-signatures

    And the answer is:

    CSPParams := CSPParams.CspParameters(1, 'Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0', 'DevRootCA');

RSA := RSA.RSACryptoServiceProvider(CSPParams);

XmlDocument := XmlDocument.XmlDocument;
XmlDocument.PreserveWhitespace(FALSE);
XmlDocument.Load(XmlTextReader.XmlTextReader('C:\Temp\Data.xml'));

SignedXml := SignedXml.SignedXml(XmlDocument);
SignedXml.SigningKey := RSA;

Reference := Reference.Reference;
Reference.Uri := '';

Env := Env.XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransform;
Reference.AddTransform(Env);

SignedXml.AddReference(Reference);

SignedXml.ComputeSignature;
XmlDigSignature := SignedXml.GetXml;
MESSAGE(XmlDigSignature.InnerXml);

    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.
