Scripts for signing using KSP library on GitLab
Prerequisites
A GitLab repository
DigiCert® KeyLocker credentials
DigiCert® KeyLocker client tools
Client tools
DigiCert® KeyLocker clients can be downloaded in a package.
Download Client tools
Sign in to DigiCert ONE.
Navigate to DigiCert® KeyLocker > Resources > Client tool repository.
Select your operating system.
Click the download icon next to DigiCert® KeyLocker clients.
Register the KSP
To register the KSP, open a command prompt and run:
smksp_registrar.exe register
Verify the KSP
To verify that your KSP is configured properly, and that your client can properly authenticate to the DigiCert® KeyLocker service, run:
certutil.exe -csp "DigiCert Software Trust Manager KSP" -key -user
Synchronize certificates
For the client tools to access the private keys in the service through the Key Storage Provider (KSP), your certificates must be synchronized to the local certificate store. Only if the certificate is synchronized, the private key remains stored securely in DigiCert® KeyLocker.
To synchronize your certificates to the local certificate store, open a command prompt and run:
smksp_cert_sync.exe
To view the certificates, open Certificate Manager for the user account used to run the certificate sync utility:
certmgr.msc
If you do not see your certificates in the Certificate Manager, verify that you have opened the correct certificate store. There is a different certificate store for each Windows user account.
참고
All certificates are synched to the user store only. The certificates are not synchronized to the machine store (yet).
Set PATH environment variables
Operating systems use the environment variable called PATH to determine where executable files are stored on your system. Use the PATH environment variable to store the file path to your signing tools to ensure that the CLI can reference these signing tools.
User authentication
DigiCert® KeyLocker enforces multifactor authentication for security. To access keypairs, certificates, and sign code, you need to set up two types of credentials: an API token and an authentication certificate.
Create an API token
The API token is an authentication method used to verify you as a user and your permissions assigned in DigiCert ONE. The API token provides the first factor authentication.
Follow these steps to generate an API token:
Sign in to DigiCert ONE.
Select the profile icon (top-right).
Select Admin Profile.
Scroll down to API Tokens.
Select Create API token.
참고
The API token is only shown once, securely store the API key to use it later.
Create an authentication certificate
The client authentication certificate is an authentication method used to verify you as a user and your permissions assigned in DigiCert ONE. The client authentication certificate provides the second factor authentication.
Follow these steps to create a client authentication certificate:
Sign in to DigiCert ONE.
Select the profile icon (top-right).
Select Admin Profile.
Scroll down to Authentication certificates.
Select Create authentication certificate.
참고
The client authentication certificate password shown after creating an client authentication certificate cannot be accessed again, download the certificate and securely store the password to use it later.
DigiCert® KeyLocker environment variables
Set the following environment variables:
Variable | Description |
---|---|
SM_API_KEY | Provide your API token. |
SM_CLIENT_CERT_FILE | Provide your client authentication certificate. |
SM_CLIENT_CERT_PASSWORD | Provide your client certificate password. |
SM_HOST | Provide your host environment. |
Set certificate file in environment variables
Identify your client authentication certificate.
Encode the file to base64. For encoding run command:
base64 file_name
In GitLab > CI/CD Settings > Variables add the new variables:
Key = SM_CLIENT_CERT_FILE_B64 Value = encoded value from base64 file_name
Setup certificate file for signing:
stages: - set-SM-certificate variables: SM_API_KEY: $SM_API_KEY SM_CLIENT_CERT_PASSWORD: $SM_CLIENT_CERT_PASSWORD SM_HOST: $SM_HOST set_SM_certificate: stage: set-SM-certificate tags: - shared-windows - windows - windows-1809 script: - | cd C:\ New-Item C:\CERT_FILE.p12.b64 Set-Content -Path C:\CERT_FILE.p12.b64 -Value $SM_CLIENT_CERT_FILE_B64 certutil -decode CERT_FILE.p12.b64 Certificate_pkcs12.p12 variables: SM_CLIENT_CERT_FILE: 'C:\Certificate_pkcs12.p12'
Environment variables setup for GitLab CI/CD
The client tools need these environment variables to connect with DigiCert® KeyLocker.
They can be integrated as GitLab variables in GitLab Repository.
The values for these environment variables:
Environment variables | Description |
---|---|
SM_CLIENT_CERT_PASSWORD | The password from client authentication certificate setup. |
SM_CLIENT_CERT_FILE_B64 | The base64 encoded text of certificate downloaded from client authentication certificate setup. |
SM_HOST | The path to the DigiCert ONE portal with client authorization. 참고In most cases, this path stays as it is unless you are connecting to a self-hosted instance of the DigiCert ONE product. |
SM_API_KEY | The API token generated during API token setup. |
SM_CODE_SIGNING_CERT_SHA1_HASH | The certificate fingerprint. |
Command to set environment variables:
stages: - set-variables variables: SM_API_KEY: $SM_API_KEY SM_CLIENT_CERT_PASSWORD: $SM_CLIENT_CERT_PASSWORD SM_HOST: $SM_HOST SIGNTOOL: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit\signtool.exe' MAGE: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools\mage.exe' SSM: 'C:\Program Files\DigiCert\DigiCert ONE Signing Manager Tools'
참고
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit" is the path of signtool.exe and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools" is the path of mage.exe
Client tools setup
Client control setup
Download and install the Keylockertools-windows-x64.msi using curl command given below, to invoke the client control from GitLab CI/CD:
stages: - set-SM-certificate set_SM_certificate: stage: set-SM-certificate tags: - shared-windows - windows - windows-1809 script: - | curl.exe -X GET https://ONE.digicert.com/signingmanager/api-ui/v1/releases/Keylockertools-windows-x64.msi/download -H "x-api-key: $SM_API_KEY" -o Keylockertools-windows-x64.msi msiexec.exe /i Keylockertools-windows-x64.msi /quiet /qn | Wait-Process
