W3C XML Signature Compliant Digital Signature for Mac OS X
Infomosaic SecureXML Digital Signature Java Applet is now available
for Mac OS X for use with Mozilla FireFox and Netscape web browsers.
Please note that SecureXML is a product useful for the software
developers. For end users interested in an applicaiton for signing
documents on
the Mac, we provide SecureWebsign Server, which has been updated
to support Mac OS X client platforms in addition to Windows.
SecureWebsign Server runs on Windows 2000/2003 Server machines and
supports both Windows and Mac clients for creating W3C XML Signature
compliant digital signatures.
SecureXML Digital Signature Java Applet for Mac OS X has the same
API as other platforms and hence you can write client-side JavaScript
code for invoking the applet once and expect it to support both Mac
and Windows platforms.
In order to try SecureXML for Mac OS X, you have two options:
- Take SecureWebsign
Server for a test drive. This option allows
you to try SecureXML as an end user. You can upload your documents
and sign them using SecureXML Java Applet,
which
will
be downloaded on your machine automatically. Please note that form
signing in SecureWebsign is currently not supported
on
Mac
OS X. It is due to the differences between Internet Explorer and
FireFox/Netscape browser and not due to any issues with SecureXML.
- Request a trial license and full package download at this page
and then download the Mac OS X version of the SecureXML Java Applet
from here.
The package that you download after receiving the trial license
would need to be installed on a Windows machine. The package
includes the programmer's reference and a sample application illustrating
how to use SecureXML Java Applet from JavaScript. You can put the
Mac OS X version of the Java Applet in place of the Windows version
and try the sample applications. Once you have it working, you
can modify it to fit your own application needs. Before attempting
to create a signed document on Mac OS X platform, you would need
to copy the license file e-mailed to you to /usr/local/infomosaic
folder, which you would need to create. In a real life scenario,
with the unlimited client license option offered by Infomosaic,
you would not need this extra step. The SecureWebsign Server, for
example is able to create signed documents on your Mac OS X machine
without any license file installation. You too can do the same
in your own application.
