xml.Encryption.setCertificate

Assigns a copy of the X509 certificate to this encryption object.

Syntax

setCertificate(
   cert xml.CryptoX509 )
  1. cert defines the copy of the X509 certificate.

Usage

The certificate will then be added to any further XML document or node encryption.

  • NULL is allowed to avoid the certificate being added.

  • To encrypt using a certificate, you must use the createPublicKey method of the X509 class to obtain the public key embedded in the certificate, and then provide it to the encryption object with setKeyEncryptionKey method.

In case of error, the method throws an exception and sets the status variable. Depending on the error, a human-readable description of the problem is available in the sqlca.sqlerrm register. See Error handling in GWS calls (status).
