This article describes the global service settings for the timestamp services configured in Nexus Timestamp Server. The global service settings are used by all timestamp services and not configured separately per timestamp service.

These settings are used by more than one filter and are defined in service.properties.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open the service.properties configuration file.

  2. Set the applicable parameters, described in this table:

Parameter

The password to unlock the keystore.

String

-

signer.password

The password needed to unlock the signing certificate/key.

String

true/false

false

signer.alias

The friendly name of the certificate/key in the keystore in PKCS#12 and JKS. Only required if the file contains more than one private key. In PKCS#11, this must be the CKA_LABEL of the certificate and private key.

Examples

PKCS#12

signer.store=${ServiceDir}/keys/tsaDemo.p12 signer.store.pin=1234 signer.password=1234 signer.pinpad=false signer.alias=TSA Demo Signing Certificate

PKCS#11 (HSM)

signer.store=${ConfigurationDir}/keys/cs_pkcs11_R2.dll signer.store.pin=1234 signer.password=1234 signer.pinpad=false signer.alias=tsa signer.store.tokenlabel=tss_keys

The signing certificate used by the timestamp service must be a valid timestamping certificate. This means that a timestamping certificate must have Extended Key Usage set to Timestamping.
