Submit-SigningRequest

Submits a new signing request or resubmits an existing one via the SignPath REST API.

Syntax

Upload an input artifact

Use -InputArtifact to directly upload the artifact from the specified local file.

Submit-SigningRequest 
    -InputArtifactPath <String>
        (-ProjectSlug <String> -SigningPolicySlug <String> [-ArtifactConfigurationSlug <String>] )
        | (-SigningPolicyId <String> [-ArtifactConfigurationId <String>] )
        [-Origin <Hashtable>]
    [-WaitForCompletion 
        -OutputArtifactPath <String>
        [-Force]
        [-WaitForCompletionTimeoutInSeconds <Int32>] 
    ]
    -OrganizationId <String> -ApiToken <String> [-ClientCertificate <X509Certificate2>]

    [-Description <String>] 
    [-Parameters <Hashtable>] 
    [-ServiceUnavailableTimeoutInSeconds <Int32>] [-UploadAndDownloadRequestTimeoutInSeconds <Int32>] 
    [-CancellationTimeoutInSeconds <Int32>] 

Provide a URL to retrieve the artifact

Use -ArtifactRetrievalLink to instruct SingPath to download the artifact from the specified URL.

Submit-SigningRequest 
    -ArtifactRetrievalLink <String> 
        -ArtifactRetrievalLinkFileName <String> 
        [-ArtifactRetrievalLinkSha256Hash <String>]

Resubmit an existing singing request

Available for Advanced Code Signing, Open Source Code Signing.

Use -Resubmit to create a new signing request based on an existing signing request, but typically using a different signing policy (read more.).

        -OriginalSigningRequestId <String> 
        (-SigningPolicySlug <String>) | (-SigningPolicyId <String>)
    [-WaitForCompletion 
        -OutputArtifactPath <String>
        [-Force]
        [-WaitForCompletionTimeoutInSeconds <Int32>] 
    ]
    -OrganizationId <String> -ApiToken <String> [-ClientCertificate <X509Certificate2>]
    [-ApiUrl <String>]

    [-ServiceUnavailableTimeoutInSeconds <Int32>] [-UploadAndDownloadRequestTimeoutInSeconds <Int32>] 
    [-CancellationTimeoutInSeconds <Int32>] 

Description

The Submit-SigningRequest cmdlet creates a new signing request. The signing request will be processed by SignPath according to authorization and policy rules.

Creating a new signing request vs. re-signing

When using the -InputArtifactPath or -ArtifactRetrievalLink parameter, the specified file will be used for processing.

When using the -Resubmit parameter, the specified signing request will be processed again using the specified signing policy. This is especially useful for conditional signing of release candidates. See Resubmit an existing signing request for more information.

Downloading the signed artifact

Processing a signing request may take several minutes, or even longer if manual approval is required. You can either

your own logic to wait for processing to complete and download the signed artifact using the Get-SignedArtifact cmdlet afterwards,
or use the -WaitForCompletion parameter of this cmdlet to wait for processing and then download the signed artifact in a single call.

Parameters

Tip

Signing policies in the SignPath Web application show basic Submit-SigningRequest calls with essential parameters.

Parameters with `-InputArtifactPath` or `-ArtifactRetrievalLink`

Parameter	Type	Description	Default value
`-InputArtifactPath`	`String`	Local path of the artifact you want to sign
`-ArtifactRetrievalLink`	`String`	URL to download the artifact you want to sign
`-ArtifactRetrievalLinkFileName`	`String`	File name of the artifact
`-ArtifactRetrievalLinkSha256Hash`	`String`	Optional hexadecimal file hash of the artifact (is specified, must match retrieved artifact)
`-ArtifactRetrievalLinkHttpHeaders`	`Hashtable`	Optional HTTP headers to use when downloading the artifact
`-ProjectSlug`	`String`	Slug of the project
`-SigningPolicySlug`	`String`	Slug of one of the project’s signing policies
`-ArtifactConfigurationSlug`	`String`	Slug of one of the project’s artifact configurations	Project’s default artifact configuration
`-SigningPolicyId`	`String`	ID of a project’s signing policy
`-ArtifactConfigurationId`	`String`	ID of one of the project’s artifact configurations	Project’s default artifact configuration
`-Origin`	`Hashtable`	Information about the origin of the artifact, see below

Slugs or IDs

Use either slugs or IDs, don’t mix them.

Automated builds version control

Consider using these sources if you are using automated builds:

Artifact configuration: version management. Create new versions of your artifact configuration for breaking changes and let your code determine the version to use. This ensures that signing will continue to work for older versions of your application while the artifact configuration evolves. If the script that invokes this cmdlet is under version control, it might be a better idea to have the artifact configuration slug hard coded in the script than to get it from a CI variable.

Signing policy: CI parameter. If you take the signing policy from a Continuous Integration/Build Automation parameter, you can use the same script and cmdlet invocation for different build configurations, such as test and release.

Values for `-Origin` parameter

Available for Advanced Code Signing, Code Signing Gateway. Required for Open Source Code Signing.

This parameter should only be used from a Trusted Build System.

Parameter	Description
`RepositoryData.SourceControlManagementType`	Type of source control management (SCM) or version control system (VCS), e.g. `git`
`RepositoryData.Url`	URL of the source code repository, must match project settings for origin verification
`RepositoryData.BranchName`	Branch name for the build, must match signing policy settings for origin verification
`RepositoryData.CommitId`	Commit ID for the build
`BuildData.Url`	URL of the CI system
`BuildData.BuildSettingsFile`	File containing build configuration settings not accessible through SCM/VCS. Use `@` prefix to reference a local file, e.g. `@build/settings.json`

Parameters can either be passed as named above, or using nested hashtables (see example).

Parameters with `-Resubmit`

Parameter	Type	Description	Default value

Examples

Example 1: Submit a signing request and wait for completion

Submit-SigningRequest `
    -InputArtifactPath $PATH_TO_INPUT_ARTIFACT `
    -ProjectSlug $PROJECT -SigningPolicySlug $SIGNING_POLICY -ArtifactConfigurationSlug $ARTIFACT_CONFIG `
    -WaitForCompletion -OutputArtifactPath $PATH_TO_OUTPUT_ARTIFACT `
    -OrganizationId $ORGANIZATION_ID -ApiToken $API_TOKEN 

Example 2: Submit a signing request with an artifact retrieval link and wait for completion

Submit-SigningRequest `
    -ArtifactRetrievalLink "https://files.acme.com/my+program.exe" `
    -ArtifactRetrievalLinkFileName "my program.exe" `
    -ArtifactRetrievalLinkSha256Hash (Get-FileHash "./my program.exe" -Algorithm SHA256).Hash `
    -ArtifactRetrievalLinkHttpHeaders @{
      "Authorization" = "$RETRIEVAL_AUTHORIZATION"
    } `
    -ProjectSlug $PROJECT -SigningPolicySlug $SIGNING_POLICY -ArtifactConfigurationSlug $ARTIFACT_CONFIG `
    -WaitForCompletion -OutputArtifactPath $PATH_TO_OUTPUT_ARTIFACT `
    -OrganizationId $ORGANIZATION_ID -ApiToken $API_TOKEN 

Example 3: Separate calls for submission and retrieval

Submit a signing request and get a signing request ID without waiting for completion …

$signingRequestID = Submit-SigningRequest `

    -ProjectSlug $PROJECT -SigningPolicySlug $SIGNING_POLICY -ArtifactConfigurationSlug $ARTIFACT_CONFIG `
    -OrganizationId $ORGANIZATION_ID -ApiToken $API_TOKEN

… and download the signed artifact later

    -SigningRequestId $signingRequestID `
    -OutputArtifactPath $PATH_TO_OUTPUT_ARTIFACT `
    -OrganizationId $ORGANIZATION_ID -ApiToken $API_TOKEN
