Mage errors and solutions
Suggerimento
When you sign a manifest file using mage, two signature units are consumed. This is because two hash signatures are created for different types of content within the manifest:
The first hash signature is generated for the manifest file itself.
The second hash signature is generated for the files referenced within the manifest.
This double-signing process ensures the integrity of both the manifest file and its referenced files, safeguarding against any tampering attempts.
Internal error, invalid provider type specified when using certificate hash to sign
Error message

Problem
This is a general error and can occur due to many reasons.
Solution
Check environment variables required for DigiCert® KeyLocker are configured properly. If that does not solve the issue, then check the DigiCert® KeyLocker KSP log file at .signingmanager\logs\smksp.log. This will provide you with more details on why the operation failed. The Home directory on Windows is usually at C:\Users\<User Name>
