[xmlsec] Signing with root element not having namespace

Right, so it cannot be done this way. Thank you!
I also tried to put the Signature element into ds: namespace, but then the sign tool failed again. It turned out the removing the cb: namespace from the parent element of the ds:Signature node solves the problem. I saw xmlSecDSigNs variable hardcoded in libxmlsec not only when finding the Signature node, but also later in the transformation chain. May I ask if that is mandatory to be that way, or I can change the search namespace (by changing that constant) to the relative one written in our standard. I should then recompile of course the whole lib which I've done before.
Bests, Adam

Tárgy: Re: [xmlsec] Signing with root element not having namespace
In xmndsig-core-schema.xsd, there is targetNamespace defined:
targetNamespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"
Which places ALL entities (types, elements, ...) from this schema
into this namespace (including Signature node itself).
In XYZBlock.xsd, the same Signature element is redefined for no
obvious reasons as
<xs:element name="Signature" type="ds:SignatureType"/>
This should be replaced with something like this to reference the
Signature element defined in xmldsig spec:
<xs:element ref="ds:Signature"/>
As it stands right now, this is not an xmldsig compatible construct.
Hope this helps,
Aleksey
