Properties file for Windows

You can store your API key and client authentication certificate password in a properties file. SMCTL client will retrieve these credentials from the properties file, provided it is stored in <Home Dir>\.signingmanager\ssm-config.properties within your home directory. 

Create properties file

To create the properties file, follow these steps:

  1. Open an integrated development environment (IDE) or plain text editor.

  2. Copy and paste the following lines into the editor:

    SM_API_KEY=<API key> 
SM_CLIENT_CERT_PASSWORD=<Client certificate password>

  3. Replace <API key> and <Client certificate password> with your actual credentials.

  4. Save the file with the name ssm-config.properties.

  5. Store the file in the following location: <Home Dir>\.signingmanager\ssm-config.properties.

Set Host and Client authentication certificate path

Once your API key and client authentication certificate password is securely stored in Windows Credential Manager, use the following session-based command to set the path to your Host and client authentication certificate in SMCTL:

set SM_HOST=<host URL>
set SM_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=<P12 client authentication certificate file path>

Proxy configuration

If your client tool needs to communicate through a proxy, you can configure the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable accordingly. Choose the appropriate command based on your proxy type:

Anonymous proxy

Use this command if your proxy does not require authentication:

set HTTPS_PROXY=https://<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>

Authenticated proxy

Use this command if your proxy requires authentication:

set HTTPS_PROXY=https://user:password@<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>
