Code-Signer Certificates
Code signing appends a digital signature to the executable code itself. This digital signature provides
enough information to authenticate the signer as well as to ensure that the code has not been
subsequently modified since signed.
Code-signer certificates are special certificates whose associated private keys are used to create digital
signatures. The certificates used to sign code are obtained from a CA, with the signed code itself
revealing the certificate origin. You can import code-signer certificates with the Import button on this
panel or you can select the Java Code Signer panel, Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Clientless
SSL VPN Access > Advanced > Java Code Signer.
The Code-signer Certificate Authentication panel allows you to:
Display details of an Identity Certificate. See Show Code-Signer Certificate Details.
Delete an existing Identity Certificate. See Delete a Code-Signer Certificate.
Export an existing Identity Certificate. See Import or Export a Code-Signer Certificate.
