Signature formatting

Hello - I'm having trouble getting my signature to work with any type of formatting. I just bolded my name, changed the font (just Helvetica), and pasted our company logo in. Some people can't see the logo, and the formatting doesnt always come through. So, I tried to create the signature in Word, and also Pages, then paste it into the Signature area. Then it puts large spaces between the lines of text. Help!
What is the proper way to add a formatted signature that is viewable to most recipients?
Is there a certain format our logo should be in? I was either pasting it in as a PNG or BMP I believe. Thanks!

If you use Firefox there is an add on extension called wisestamp that you can download for free. I haven't used it yet but it seems pretty cool, and there is a help video on their website.
Note: If you want a logo or graphic added to your email it has to be uploaded onto a public server for it to be added on to your e-mail. A custom signature can't be pulled off your hard drive. I just found that out myself.

Problem with Signature formatting

Hi,
My company has changed its email signature format. Everyone else is using PCs and they have no issue with format. Im always fighting to get them to use Macs but I cant get the signature to work in mail.
looks like its too wide and is pushing wider lines into next line. Is there a limit on how wide a signature can be?
Ive been trying to just cut and paste it into mail signature or via Pages. Perhaps I should create it from scratch to solve the problem.
Im running Mac OSX 10.6.8 and mail 4.5.
Many thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Might see if this helps...

Digital Signature Formats

Hi Experts,
I am having some basic doubts in Signature Formats. We have 3 types of signature formats namely, SsfDataPKCS7, SsfDataSMIME and SsfDataXML using Java. What is the difference between these 3 signature formats? At what situation, we will use these formats? I have searched in SDN, no clue.
Please help me in this regard.
Regards,
Venkatesh. K

Hi
ISsfData
There is a central interface IssfData that contains all basic methods such as sign, verify, encrypt, and decrypt. This interface is implemented for the different classes (SsfDataPKCS7, SsfDataSMIME, SsfDataXML) that provide specific methods for each format.
This interface is the central interface used for the cryptographic functions. Its underlying classes specify the data format used, for example, SsfDataPKCS7, SsfDataSMIME and SsfDataXML.
Available methods: sign, verify, encrypt, decrypt, writeTo
SsfDataPKCS7
This class is derived from the interface ISsfData. It provides specific methods for using the PKCS#7 data format
SsfDataSMIME
This class is also derived from the interface ISsfData. It provides specific methods for using S/MIME.
SsfDataXML
This class is also derived from the interface ISsfData. It provides the specific methods for using XML
Thanks

Buggy Signature Formatting

I think this program is super buggy. I've had lots of issues with it, this is one of many. I'm not sure why Apple can't provide a decent mail program.
I format my signature the way I want it to look. Then when I go to compose it auto formats it back to the generic message font, and the "Always match my default message font" box is not checked in the signatures pane.
This is really more of a complaint to Apple, I doubt there's any immediate fix unless someone has a bug fix that I could download.

If you use Firefox there is an add on extension called wisestamp that you can download for free. I haven't used it yet but it seems pretty cool, and there is a help video on their website.

Signature formatting goofed up with TB 31 upgrade

I have been using the same signature file for 8 years. My signature settings are "attach signature from file" With the TB 31 upgrade language that used to come out in 6 lines now comes out in one long line, in new or stored sent messages. I read the signature topic, and noted that there were no <br/> following each of the 6 lines. This has never been an issue before and inserting them makes no difference.
Thank you

Well, using the text box might be your workaround for the time being. Apparently there is some tag in the file throwing Thunderbird off course, which was just now exposed by some change in the HTML parsing and rendering from 24 to 31 (lots of "some" here, but without seeing the file contents itself, hard to tell).
You could have a look at an old message exhibiting the problem, compare it to one of the new ones which resulted from using the text box instead. Use Ctrl+U to see the message source in both cases, find the signatures, then try to figure out which tag is present (or different) in one vs. the other and make respective adjustments in your signature file.

Importing older Digital Signatures into an Electronic Document Mgmt System

I have Adobe PDF documents signed with digital signatures in 2002-03 that I need to import into an EMC Documentum repository without invalidating the signatures. When I try pulling documents into the system, they are seen as "changed or modified" by the authentication software, and the signatures dissappear. How do I get around this?

2002-2003 signatures were signed probably with Acrobat 5 or 6. Two questions:
1. If you open this PDF in Reader XI, does it validate the signatures as valid?
2. If you import into Documentum PDF signed with the latest Acrobat version (X or XI), does Documentum import then without errors?
If the answer to question 1 is "no" then there is something wrong with these PDFs.
I am not familiar with Documentum, so this is just a speculation.
My guess is that the answers to both questions are "yes". If so, then Documentum does not support the older PDF signature format (which is still in PDF 1.7 specification).
If the answer to question 1 is "yes" and to question 2 is "no", then perhaps Documentum does not support signed PDFs.
I am not familiar with Documentum, so this is just a speculation.

Digital Signature issue

We have PDF's that are signed by multiple people and we are in the progress of upgrading from Adobe Acrobat and Reader (any version from 7.0 to 9.4.4) to Adobe Acrobat X.
If a document is signed by a user with Acrobat X and he sends it to a user with Acrobat 9, the second user is not able to sign the document. Is this known behaviour and is there a solution?
Respectfully,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Pay no attention to the first reply, there is nothing in there that is correct.
The capability to add multiple signatures and to a PDF and to move between versions has existed since version 6. As Acrobat has evolved it has been possible to add a signature in a newer version that the older version wouldn't understand, for example, in version 6 it only understood the MD5 and SHA-1 digest algorithms. In version 7 SHA-256 was introduced and if you signed using SHA-256 then version 6 wouldn't be able to successfully validate the signature. In version 10 we added a signature format called CAdES that older version wouldn't be able to decode, but for the most part as long as the user doesn't change the default (out of the box) settings backwards compatibility is maintained.
That brings us to what is causing the file to be locked after the first signature. There are several things that could be going on. One thing to realize is there are two types of signatures; a certifying signature and an approval signature. You can only add on certifying signature per file and it has to be the first signature, whereas you can add multiple approval signatures, The first signature may be an approval signature, but if it is then you cannot add a certifying signature.
When adding a certifying signature there are options in a drop-down menu, one of which is to allow no changes. If that option were selectred then you can't make any changes to the file let alone sign.
Since version 9, Acrobat/Reader will detect if the last empty signature field is being signed. If that's the case an optional checkbox appears on the Sign dialog that allows the signer to lock the document.
To go a bit further, in order to sign in Reader the file needs to be Reader Enabled. You can do this from Acrobat Pro (but not Standard) and there are servers that also can do this as well. It is possible that the second signer is using Reader, but the file has not been Reader Enabled. The document author has to Reader Enable the file before any signatures are applied, it's not something you can do after that first signature.
Acrobat version 6 & 7 had a bug where they could break the Reader Enablement, but that hasn't existed in a long time. It is possible the the first signer was using version 7 and toasted the Reader rights.
The document author could have added in JavaScript that or signature field properties that cause the file to be locked on signing as well.
So, there are numerous things that can be going on, but once you iron out the problem you will be able to add signatures galore.

Installing package with -U and Ignoring Signatures

If I want to install a package using -U but the package isn't signed, can I tell pacman to SigLevel = Never for this one transaction, rather than having to edit pacman.conf, install, then change pacman.conf back?

Do you trust yourself?
in this case is unnecesary have a LocalFileSigLevel because a common person Trust in their/yourself and if one going to install any from a local file, what is the point of have this if one troust in theirself

Outlook signature appears vertically on iphone

When I use my Outlook signature (just plain text) it appears vertically when opened on an i phone as a big long string of text. How do I fix this?

Hi,
Go to %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures, you will find for each signature, there are three type of files: .html, .rtf, .txt.
So the signature format is decided by your email format.
If you want your signature to be in html, make sure you are editing the signature in html.

SSO for MS outlook, OWA and Sharepoint using SSO 2.0

Hi,
We have installed the secure login server 2.0. And configured SSO for SAP (ABAP, JAVA) systems using X.509 certificate. it is working fine.
We want to configure SSO for some non SAP applications like MS outlook, Outlook Web Access, Sharepoint.
I dont see any documentation in the implememntation guide of NW SSO 2.0 for how to configure these non sap applications to accept X.509 certificates.
Anyone please share the details of how to configure SSO for MS outlook, OWA and Sharepoint
Regards,
Yogesh Kumar D

Hello Yogesh,
Secure Login Server generates short lived certificates, this means after a configured time (or even
after an logout, because the Secure Login Client does not persist the private
keys in the file system) the private key and certificate is gone.
So using this for long term encryption is not practicable (because decryption
will be very very hard after a certificate/key renew...)
For a signature only solution the problem would be the signature validation, because it needs the
public key/certificate from the signer. This is usually included into the
PKCS#7 signature format, but its not guaranteed (depends on the application settings as example in outlook etc.). So this would be theoretically possible, but unlikely.
For long term encryption/signatures you need persistence certifkate/keys.
So thats the reason there is not documentation about that use case in Secure Login Server.
best regards
Alex

A question about revoking certifcates from a retired CA

Hello
If I issued certificates from CA-1 (lets just say the CDP is AD LDAP)
I then retired CA-1 (but leave its cert in AIA LDAP Location and in local Windows PCs X509 store)
I then setup CA-2
Next I want to revoke a cert issued by CA-1
I understand the CRL needs to be signed by the CA (and therefore I am assuming the issuing CA, CA-1)
As I need the CA-1 private key to sign the CRL (so it matches the public key), can I extract the private key from CA-1 keep it safe and use it so sign a new CRL
I believe the CRL is a text file so assume I can add the relevant information for the cert I want to revoke to the CRL text file and then sign (if I have access to private key)
That said I would normally create a code signing cert for signing files using Authenticode or JarSigner, so even if I could get the private key from the CA not sure how I could use it to sign CRL.
I guess as I would have both the private and public key I could create a CSR with using the Public key and relevant Subject name and request a code signing cert which would then match with the private key
Any ideas or am I going about this completely the wrong way?
I just want to make sure I can revoke certs issues by a retired CA but the certs are still OK to use for now.
Thanks All

> As I need the CA-1 private key to sign the CRL (so it matches the public key), can I extract the private key from CA-1 keep it safe and use it so sign a new CRL
technically, yes. But it is not that easy because:
> I believe the CRL is a text file
it is not. It is ASN.1-encoded file and you will have to carefully edit this file by conforming all ASN encoding rules.
> That said I would normally create a code signing cert for signing files using Authenticode or JarSigner
CRLs do not use authenticode signatures, it uses ASN signature format defined in the X.509 profile.
There are workarounds, however, I would suggest to keep the existing CA, until it completely retire.

IPhone Plain Text

I would like to know if there is a way I can possibly default the built in mail application on my iPhone to send emails in HTML format rather than Plain Text.
I have already read a variety of posts with some suggestions, like bolding or applying some sort of font characteristic to my email or signature would force it to use HTML. I have tried these and they do work, however the main result im looking for is something that does the same, but without having the email/signature formatted in any fashion.

Please check if the issue can be reproduced by using windows mobile emulator

Seeburger: keyStorage: import chain of certificates

Hi guys,
Have any of you imported on VisualAdmin Key storage a certificate which has a chain of certificates associated?
Why does this question pops up? Well, I'm using Seeburger AS2 Adapter and I'm trying to receive a message from my external partner. The point is that the certificate has associated a chain of certificates. I tried to import every certificate, one by one, creating three entries on the keystorage, and then specifying on the sender agreement the alias referring to the lower certificate. Meaning certificateA depends from certificateB which depends from certificateC, which is the ROOT Certificate.
certificateC
-certificateB
-certificateA
So in the sender agreement I only have
Sender Configuration
Authentication Certificate : \AS2\certificateA
My external partner is getting AUTHENTICATION ERROR. What I think is happenning is that XI is not being able to relate the three certificates.
Do you have any ideas?

Hi guys,
Unfortunately the problem is yet to be solved...
I've placed the certificates in the TrustedCA's but I'm still getting the following error:
Error#1#/Applications/ExchangeInfrastructure/AdapterFramework/ThirdPartyRoot/SEEBURGER/AS2#Plain###authentication error
[LOC: authentication error.authenticate] Caused by: com.seeburger.dt.security.smime.SMIMEHelperException: signature verification failed:
com.seeburger.dt.security.smime.SMIMEHelperException: signature verification failed: CMS error:
invalid signature format in message: + content hash found in signed attributes different
Although the error is an authentication error, it is due to other factors.
I've searched the web but couldn't find any related issues...
For debugging I've tried sending a message from another test partner with his own certificate but letting the other partner's certificate configured. The error
is an authentication error/connection refused. So in the first case XI reaches to the point of validating the certificate signature.
Has any of you faced this error?

New message font

I have my mail Font Settings set to Calibri 13 for new messages. However when I receive the message in Outlook on my Windows PC the font is changed to Times New Roman and the point size is changed to 12. I can send messages in Calibri on my PC and I receive messages in Calibri and other fonts from others. Why is this happening and how can I set the font so it is sent and received as the same font.

I'm not an expert here, but there is a work-around. See if this works for you:
If you open an email that you composed and saved in Apple Mail, you can view the HTML code by clicking "View>Message>Raw Source" from your menu bar. To me that shows a bunch of gibberish, but you can find your "automatic" signature buried deep into a lot of formatting instructions. For some reason, Apple Mail puts the body of your message before this formatting gibberish, but your signature goes after it. So the receiver will see your signature formatted correctly (assuming his PC has your fonts) but the body of your message is probably in his default font because your HTML didn't include font instructions for that part of your message. So you have no control over the font displaying on the receiver's screen. Hope I've explained that clearly enough.
The work-around: Open your email preferences. Click on Signatures tab and format your signature like you want it. Make sure it is in a font that Windows users will have. Like Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman, etc.
Now, in that same Signatures pane, add a character of your choice - say an asterisk - and then hit Enter twice to make a blank line or two before your signature. Now close the preferences window and create a new email. You have to type your message AFTER the asterisk. Everything after the asterisk will be included in the HTML format you set up in your signature.
What a pain, but it seems to work.

IOS IPS configuration

Hi all,
I am implementing IOS IPS on a 3800 router but I am not sure if when I enable it all the previous TCP sessions already active across the router will be dropped by the inpsect (because the IPS never saw when all those sessions started).
Any comments are really apreciated..

Some clarifications:
1. the fail closed option by default is not configured. Default option is fail open.
2. Cisco has recommend signatures files (128MB.sdf and 256MB.sdf in 4.x signature format and has basic and advanced category (in 5.x signature format). Those are recommended starting point while configuring router based IOS IPS. It has about 300 and 500 signatures respectively.
3. If configured right, the above two set of signatures will take about 3 to 5 minutes to load and compile. And during the compilation process, the process cpu normally is high, but it wont affect data plane traffic passing the router.
Hope this helps,
-Chris
