Sign Method


Object.Sign (FileExtension, Text, Certificate, Store)

object: Scripting.Signer

FileExtension: A string designating the script extension type (.vbs, .js, or .wsf). This provides a mechanism by which the operating system can determine the type of script file being verified.

Text: A string containing the script to be signed.

Certificate: A string designating the author's certificate name.

Store: Optional. A string designating the name of the certificate store. Typically certificates that contain private keys — i.e., certificates you can use for code signing — are in a certificate store called "my". The default value is "my".

The Sign method is used to digitally sign a script stored in a string. In order to create a digital signature, the caller must have a valid certificate.
