Test signing

DigiCert® Software Trust Manager supports both production and test signings. Test signings allow you to sign software during development or test phases using short-lived, private certificates that do not consume more expensive production signings.

Limitations

Test keypairs expire after a maximum of 30 days.
Test certificates expire after a maximum of 30 days.

Create test certificate profile

You require the Manage certificate profile permission to create a certificate profile.

voorbeeld 1. Software Trust Manager

To create a test certificate profile in Software Trust Manager:

Sign in to DigiCert ONE.
Select the Manager menu (top right) > Software Trust.
Navigate to: Certificates > Certificate profiles.
Select Create certificate profile.

Complete the following fields:

Field	Description
Name	Enter a name to easily identify this test certificate profile.
Profile type	Select CA Manager (Private trust).
Organization	Select your organization.
Issuing Certificate Authority	Select a Issuing Certificate Authority (ICA).
Profile category	Select Test.
Certificate template	Select a certificate template.

Select Create certificate profile.

voorbeeld 2. SMCTL

Same alias

This command creates a keypair and certificate with the same alias.

smctl keypair generate rsa <shared alias> --generate-cert --cert-profile-id <cert_profile_ID> --key-type TEST

If successful, SMCTL outputs the keypair ID.

Different alias

This command creates a keypair and certificate with different aliases.

smctl keypair generate rsa <key alias> --generate-cert --cert-alias <cert alias> --cert-profile-id <cert_profile_ID> --key-type TEST

If successful, SMCTL outputs the keypair ID.

Opmerking

You will need the certificate profile ID when creating keypairs from the command line (SMCTL). How do I locate the certificate profile ID?

Create test static keypair

voorbeeld 3. Software Trust Manager

To create a test keypair in Software Trust Manager:

Sign in to DigiCert ONE.
Navigate to the Manager menu (top right) > Software Trust.
Select Keypairs.
Select Create keypair.

Complete the following fields:

Field	Description
Keypair type	Select Static (keypair will remain the same) or Dynamic (keypair will change every time you complete a signature).
Keypair alias	Name to uniquely identify this keypair.
Team	Select a team that should have access to this keypair. Opmerking You will only see this field if you enable Teams under Account settings.
Keypair profile	Select a keypair profile. If you have selected a team. you will only see keypair profiles allocated to that team.
Algorithm	Select RSA, ECDSA, or EdDSA. Opmerking When you select EdDSA the key curve sets to Ed25519).
Key size	Select 2048.
Keypair category	Select Test.
Keypair storage	Select Disk.
Keypair status	Select Online.
Access	Select Open (can be used by any account user) or Restricted (can only be used by specified users or a member of a specified user group.
Allowed users	For Restricted keypairs, you can specify which users can use the keypair.
Allowed user groups	For Restricted keypairs, you can specify one or more groups that are authorized to use the keypair.
Generate certificate	Check this box to generate a corresponding default certificate for the keypair.

Click Create keypair.

voorbeeld 4. SMCTL

Use this command to create a new certificate for an existing test keypair. This generates a new 30-day certificate for an existing 30-day keypair.

smctl keypair generate-cert <keypair ID> --cert-alias <cert_alias> --cert-profile-id <profile ID>

Here are three ways you can identify the keypair profile ID.
