[xmlsec] RE: Need urgent help for verify

[Jürgen Heiss]

Ups I think I don't understand something.
I call the function

if(xmlSecDSigCtxVerify(&dsigCtx, data->startNode) < 0)  

And how it look this function look in the KeyName and try to get the certificate from the registry.
But of course the certificate isn't registered. So, what if have to do the load the certificate which is
In the signed XML-doucument. How I can tell the function xmlSecDSigCtxVerify to get the certificate from the signed xml File and to don't try to look in the registry because there it will be not? So how I can handle this that I always load the certificate with which the document was signed.

Thanks
Jürgen

What do you mean the document is no longer valid ?

If it verifies the References covered by the signature are valid. If the DN in the certificate refers to the same certifiacte as the friendly name in the KeyName, the KeyName is redundant. This is what I am doing. I am removing the Keyname for the verify and then putting it back in for consistency.

Alternatively you can tell xmlsec which key sources to consult using the enabledKeyData list. I find this a pain and prefer to check the keys in each location myself. If you have created the signature yourself and are subsequently verifying it, you know they are the same. They should rarely differ. In fact I cannot think of an instance where the contents of X509Certificate should get overridden by KeyName in a Verify. Even when including issuer certificates, they end up as more than one X509Certificate.
I buy that if X509Certifiate is not there one can consult KeyName, but rarely if ever the reverse. But that is just my opinion. I would like to see an order to the certificate search.

Hi everybody,

Well you are right, its really the Keyname. So if I remove the Keyname it works.
But of course the document isn't anymore valid. Is there a way always to ignore the keyname and use the the certificate by verify a signed document?
 
What is the 

xmlSecDSigCtx::keyInfoReadCtx->enabledKeyData
xmlSecDSigCtx::keyInfoWriteCtx->enabledKeyData


For? How must I use them?

Thanks I advance.


Jürgen

Yes

xmlSecDSigCtx::keyInfoReadCtx->enabledKeyData
xmlSecDSigCtx::keyInfoWriteCtx->enabledKeyData
