Signing information collection
Use this page to view a list of signing parameters. Signing information is used to sign and validate parts of a message including the body, time stamp, and user name token. We can also use these parameters for X.509 validation when the authentication method is IDAssertion and the ID type is X509Certificate in the server-level configuration. In such cases, you must fill in the certificate path fields only.
