-- Load the certificate used for signing.  The certificate's private key is stored on
-- the Aruba.it server and the signing will happen remotely using the
-- ARSS (Aruba Remote Signing Service).
-- However, we still need the certificate locally (without private key).

-- add the following lines of code to specify your authentication credentials,
-- and the ID of the certificate w/ private key on the server to be used.

-- Specifies the OTP authentication environment.
--
-- Common values are:
--   "demoprod" - Demo/Test environment
--   "prod"     - Production environment
--
-- This value is sent to the ARSS service and determines how the OTP
-- authentication is validated.  The correct value depends on the type
-- of Aruba account and environment that has been provisioned.
--
-- If signing fails with an authentication-related error, verify that
-- the typeOtpAuth value matches the environment associated with the
-- ARSS account credentials being used.
