Trying to build an XML Signing application using the XMLSecurity Library.
Using Visual Studio 2005, and Windows Forms.
And also eventually Ubuntu 7.10 with KDEV. [not started yet]
Got the libraries for Windows from Zlatkovic who has done an excellent job assembling all the libraries for Windows using VS 2003.
I have laid out the folders like this:
As a test, I started with a CLR [.Net] based console application and included all the libraries as statically linked. Then I tried to run the sample code and got the following error. Since Zlatkovic did not provide the sources, I cannot debug this directly.
C:CodeXML_SignTestrelease>XML_Signtest sign1-tmpl.xml ca.key > sign1-res.xml
Arguments Dummyargument
Arguments sign1-tmpl.xml
Arguments ca.key
XML_Sign - found start node
XML_Sign - Created Signature Context
XML_Sign - Loaded Key
XML_Sign - key name is set
func=xmlSecDSigCtxProcessSignatureNode:file=..srcxmldsig.c:line=465:obj=unknow
n:subj=dsigCtx->c14nMethod == NULL:error=100:assertion:
func=xmlSecDSigCtxSign:file=..srcxmldsig.c:line=303:obj=unknown:subj=xmlSecDSi
gCtxSigantureProcessNode:error=1:xmlsec library function failed:
Error: signature failed
- Perhaps this is a problem with incompatibilities with VS 2005, VS 2003, or
- Perhaps this is another problem with how I have included the libraries.
I see a couple of ways that I can proceed:
- Get the sources from Zlatkovic and build them again debug after converting the projects to VS2005. Also provide him with the VS2005 projects after I have them working.
- Start again with the sources of the projects, and build the VS2005 projects for them.
Here you can find a ZIP of the complete VS2005 test project including the key, certificate and test samples I used. This is a 3.5MB download and some large files have been removed [ncb, pch], but these can be recreated with a rebuild.
Please contact me by email if you have any thoughts.
Thanks very much,
