(Ruby) Sign PDF using ARSS (Aruba Remote Signing Service)

See more Signing in the Cloud Examples

Demonstrates how to sign a PDF using the Aruba Remote Signing Service (ARSS).

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or greater.

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

pdf = Chilkat::CkPdf.new()

# Load a PDF to be signed.
success = pdf.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/hello.pdf")
if (success == false)
    print pdf.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Options for signing are specified in JSON.
json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()

# Indicate that we want an LTV-enabled signature
json.UpdateBool("ltvOcsp",true)

# Define the appearance of the signature.
json.UpdateInt("page",1)
json.UpdateString("appearance.y","top")
json.UpdateString("appearance.x","left")
json.UpdateString("appearance.fontScale","10.0")
json.UpdateString("appearance.text[0]","Digitally signed by: cert_cn")
json.UpdateString("appearance.text[1]","current_dt")
json.UpdateString("appearance.text[2]","This is an LTV-enabled signature.")

# 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).
cert = Chilkat::CkCert.new()
success = cert.LoadFromFile("qa_data/certs/myCert.cer")

# To sign using the Aruba Remote Signing Service, 
# 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.
jsonArss = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()

# Set the "service" equal to "ARSS" to tell Chilkat to use ARSS for signing.
jsonArss.UpdateString("service","ARSS")
# Specify the certificate ID, such as "AS0"
# This certificate should match the certificate loaded in the above code.
jsonArss.UpdateString("certID","YOUR_ARSS_CERT_ID")

# Tell the pdf object to use the certificate for signing.
success = pdf.SetSigningCert(cert)

end

# Chilkat will build the signed PDF locally, but will (internally) use ARSS
# to do the RSA sign hash operation.
success = pdf.SignPdf(json,"qa_output/hello_ltv_signed.pdf")

    print pdf.lastErrorText() + "\n";
