Login session variables

REMEMBER that these variables also needs to be set (or at least managed) when emulating and unemulating.

Is user logged in?	['usrinfo']['logged_in']
Username (e-mail)	['usrinfo']['username']
E-mail	['usrinfo']['email']
Person/div./un./conf. ID (Local ID)	['usrinfo']['localID'] (MUST correspond to $accesslevel in order to identify the user on his own level - certain users from ext_logins has to be "mapped" to an existing record in the table for his level, so that it will actually just be an alias. We cannot transfer the localID field from ext_logins to localID field in temp_users, because we would not have the reverse identification of that user in temp_users then, so we have to manually check the session variable to see if the user comes from ext_logins table and lookup the localID manually. If we are only concerned about the current user the localID can be found in "user_eff_localID" though.)
Ext. logins loginID	['usrinfo']['ext_logins_loginID'] (only made for logins in main_ext_logins. Saves the loginID as the localID will only contain the mapped localID - if any)
Effective local ID	['usrinfo']['eff_localID'] (holds the effective local ID for the current user. For ext. logins that means the value of ['usrinfo']['ext_logins_loginID'] and for all other user the value of ['usrinfo']['localID'])
Access levels (number)	['usrinfo']['accesslevels_num']  (array) ['usrinfo']['accesslevels_num_max']  (number - the highest in the array)
Access levels (text)	['usrinfo']['accesslevels']
From table	['usrinfo']['fromtable'] (values are as MySQL table names except without the "main_" part)
Full name	['usrinfo']['fullname']
If admin is superadmin	['usrinfo']['is_superadmin']
If admin is associate admin	['usrinfo']['is_assoc_admin']
Is homeland division/union/conference organizer	['usrinfo']['is_conf_organizer'] (true, false) ['usrinfo']['is_un_organizer'] (array of unionIDs they are organizer for) ['usrinfo']['is_div_organizer'] (array of divisionIDs they are organizer for) ['usrinfo']['is_field_organizer'] (true, false) If user is a conference/union/division organizer for homeland campaigns. 'is_field_organizer' will be true if ANY of the other 3 is true.
Access level for homeland field organizers	['usrinfo']['conf_organizer_accesslevel'] ('manage', 'reporting') ['usrinfo']['un_organizer_accesslevel'] ('manage', 'reporting') ['usrinfo']['div_organizer_accesslevel'] ('manage', 'reporting')
Is conference organizer for sectors	['usrinfo']['is_conf_organizer_for_sectors'] Array of sectors a conference organizer is limited to. Non-existing if no limits.
Is pastor	['usrinfo']['is_pastor'] (true, false)
Is editor	['usrinfo']['is_editor'] ('executive','associative','text','graphics', or false)
User's active event	['usrinfo']['active_personeventID']
Emulating mode	['usrinfo']['is_emulating'] (true or not set) (whether the current login is being emulated)
Responsible date blocks	['usrinfo']['resp_dateblocks'] (array of dateblockIDs that this coadmin is responsible for/has access to maintain. Only used for 'coadmin' access level, otherwise it's an empty array)
Contact for colleges	['usrinfo']['contact_for_collegeIDs'] (array of collegeIDs that this person is contact person for)
Recommenders	['usrinfo']['rec_divisionIDs'] - array of divisions that person is recommender for ['usrinfo']['recommenderIDs'] - array of the person's recommender records
Verfied/authenticated OpenID	verified_openid
Verfied/authenticated OpenID short version	verified_openid_short

Other session variables generally used

Only lasting during the page execution for all pages that goes through the security check.

Dateblock ID

$dateblockID (the date block that an administrator is currently working in)

Other global variables generally used

Cached data

$GLOBALS['_cache']

Associative array with data we want to cache for later reuse. Eg. $GLOBALS['_cache']['groups'][###] contain group info.

Note that the Centralizer system uses $GLOBALS['runtime']['cache']

Access levels

Each usergroup must also have a numeric value because of the login system's way of behaviour.

Access levels from 70-79 and 0-10 should on the pages be set specifically (in $requiredUserLevel) to avoid unwanted inherited permissions.

Group	Abbrev.	Range	General (if range)
System	system		899
Administrators	admin	70+     90+	100
Campaign managers * Equipment managers	coadmin equipman	70-89	80 79
Divisions	div	60-69	65
Unions	un	50-59	55
Conferences/missions	conf	40-49	45
People (clusters, groups, college leaders)	people	26-39	30
Recommenders	intlrecom	15
Colleges	collegect	14
ShareSynch Technical Supporter (OBS! Probably not fully configured in set_pw.php...!)	ssynchsupp	9
**External shipper Actually already implemented but not using access level, only a db lookup in main_ext_shippers each time we need to know.	extshipper	8
**Travel agents	travelag	7
Insurance agents	insuragent	6

• *) mostly same as administrators but only within selected date blocks, and no access to certain system wide features
• **) planned access levels - but probably just make it an extension to their main_people record - to avoid multiple l

When creating new access levels use this checklist:

• try to make unique abbreviations/access level names so they can be searched for
• add to table list_accesslevels
• add to get_user_main_menu(), format_accesslevel(), get_common_table_info()
• add to js_functions_phpmaker.js (syncLocalToAccesslevel() function)
• add to main_ext_loginslist.php (in section "Show mappings/localID")
• add to temp_userslist.php (add to switch() making the $emulate_qstr variable)
• add to php_functions_login.php => format_accesslevel()
• add permission and setup in set_pw.php to emulate and set user/password (if emulation should be possible)

Possible combinations of 'category' and 'cospeaker' and their allowed selection of dateblocks

This analyses is done to make sure that we have encompassed all possible combinations and their differences and validity.

Some general definitions of which the following analyses is based on:

• we have 3 different definitions of allowed dateblock selections:
  • dateblocks within a college
  • dateblocks that still has open sites (see definition above under 'Abbreviation & definitions')
  • dateblocks that has not passed their closing date, and therefore still accepts applications
• a cospeaker from a college, can only select date blocks defined for that same college (similar to a def. in next analyses)

Complete definition table

	cospeaker = 0	cospeaker = 1
pastor	open sites	unclosed
layman	open sites	unclosed
college	college defined	college defined
academy	open sites	unclosed
stm	unclosed	-
organizer	unclosed	-

Definitions encompassing all derived conclusions from the above table

category = college & cospeaker = 0|1	Only dateblocks defined for that college	Note: Since cospeaker doesn't matter, we don't consider that when dealing with a category=college.
category = pastor|layman|academy & cospeaker = 0	Only dateblocks that still has open sites
category = pastor|layman|academy & cospeaker = 1	All unclosed dateblocks
category = stm|organizer & cospeaker = 0	All unclosed dateblocks
category = stm|organizer &	-invalid combination-	Note: Since this is an invalid combination, we don't consider cospeaker when dealing with stm & organizers

Possible combinations of speaker's support team members and their dateblock link (for when selecting members)

This analyses is done to make sure that we have encompassed all possible combinations and their differences and validity.

Some general definitions of which the following analyses is based on:

• a cospeaker from a college, can only be a cospeaker to a speaker from that same college (similar to a def. in former analyses)
• a speaker can have 2 types of support team members:
  • stm (normal)
  • pastor|layman|academy (but not college) cospeakers
• of course a non-cospeaker cannot be a support team member
• of course stm & organizers cannot be cospeakers - the dateblock link of college students is, contrary to the other types, stored in collegedateblocks

Complete definition table

Speaker	Possible support team members	Speaker dateblock link table	STM dateblock link table
pastor	- pastor|layman|academy & cospeaker - stm	personevents	personevents
layman	- pastor|layman|academy & cospeaker - stm	personevents	personevents
college	- pastor|layman|academy & cospeaker - stm	collegedateblocks	personevents
college	- college & cospeaker	collegedateblocks	collegedateblocks
academy	- pastor|layman|academy & cospeaker - stm	personevents	personevents

Definitions encompassing all derived conclusions from the above table Note: keeping the dateblockID link in collegedateblocks makes it possible to move all college students from one college to another dateblock with a simple change (considering strict normalization of databases this is the correct way to do it). On the other hand it complicates when dealing with dateblockID for speakers. (At the point of time of writing this the question is whether to do one or the other - whether I already have figured out the ways to go about this difference - which I think I have... since I have made SQL queries for both finding all speakers within a dateblock and finding all stm within a dateblock)

speaker category = pastor|layman|academy	All has the same possible dateblock link tables
speaker category = college & stm category <> college & cospeaker = 1	Speaker dateblock link is in 'collegedateblocks', stm dateblock link is in either 'personevents' or 'collegedateblocks'
speaker category = college & stm category = college & cospeaker = 1
speaker category = [any] & stm category = [any] & cospeaker = 0	-invalid combination-	Note: Since this is an invalid combination, we don't consider cospeaker when dealing with category=college

Update: To simplify the SQL statement the field eff_dateblockID (effective dateblockID)

Organizer's responsibility group/scope

NOTE: This is our goal but it doesn't mean that the system is working exactly like this yet! Some development probably needed in this area. An organizer can be responsible for the following groups of people depending on his setup:

Setting	Responsibility group
Not in any group or cluster	All people in date block
Member of a group	All people in the same group
Member of a cluster	All people in the same cluster

For his group of people the areas he can work in include (but is not limited to):

- maintaining their personal record
- entering flight information
- making hotel room reservation
- booking or unbooking graphics equipment
- probably also assigning/unassigning team members???

Multiple events

- on the people's own menu they work with one event at a time - they select themselves which one they want to work with

Website Layout & Coding Format

• generally aim at a minimum screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels
• most website users use IE so it's must be compatible with the newest versions
  • but most browsers can be expected (because of a large user group)
• a menu area and a main area
• light background color/texture
• use default font sizes/families and styles unless something needs to be emphasized or de-emphasized
  • use < b >
  • use or the CSS class "dimmed" for less important text
• don't follow coding structure of main_*.php and list_*.php (generated by PHPMaker) but rather story_menu_admin.php
  • complexity of search and sorting features needs to be considered for every case (sometimes needed, otherwise just simple)
• standard date format: mm/dd/yyyy
  • started writing LOCAL-DATE places where we eventually will localize the date format for user's country
    • consider if strftime() (or strftime_new() in adventsangerne.no) can be used for something
• standard number format: ##,###,###.##
• always use require_function() for defining functions to use. Never include file directly.
• when validating date use $err_occurs_on_page to count how many errors occur. The validation functions also uses this variable.
• recommended to use query string variable "act" when requesting a page with a command to do some operation
• see additional coding format specifications in "Programming principles - Allan.txt"

E-mails

• e-mail addresses must never be shown to the public. They must be presented with a form to be filled out instead.
• general e-mails should bounce to bounce@sharehim.org, while all other e-mails should bounce to the sender address
• format of the unique Mailer ID that can be used in e-mails: X-Mailer-ID: #SRCID#MAIL#FEST07-2#PID686#

Check queries

• IMPORTANT: check that all speakers in a college within a cluster have personevents.clusterID filled out accordingly
• check that all homeland date blocks have at least one conference defined in main_dateblockconfs
  • SELECT main_dateblocks.* FROM main_dateblocks LEFT JOIN main_dateblockconfs USING (dateblockID) WHERE homeland = 1 AND main_dateblockconfs.conferenceID IS NULL ORDER BY title
• conferences, unions etc. have their upper level record
• orphaned group members
• speakers both being group leader and group member
• check that group date block matches the members date blocks
• speaker who haven't been issued any material (use code from _db-query.php)
• check that STMs that are member of teams are also member of that date block
• check that no delete-marked events are found in main_people.active_personeventID
• delete active_personeventIDs that do not exist in main_personevents (maybe obsolete now)
  • _db-query.php: "CLEAR ACTIVE_PERSONEVENTIDs THAT ARE NOT EXISTING IN PERSONEVENTS"
• check that all people in homeland campaigns are members of clusters
• check date block dates:

SELECT dateblockID, title, opening_date, appl_closed_date, data_lock_date, TO_DAYS(closing_date) - TO_DAYS(opening_date) AS days_duration, TO_DAYS(opening_date) - TO_DAYS(appl_closed_date) AS days_before_appl_close, TO_DAYS(closing_date) - TO_DAYS(data_lock_date) AS days_lock_date_before_closingdate
FROM main_dateblocks
WHERE
    TO_DAYS(closing_date) - TO_DAYS(opening_date) <> 15 /* days_duration */
    OR TO_DAYS(opening_date) - TO_DAYS(appl_closed_date) < 0 /* days_before_appl_close */
    OR TO_DAYS(opening_date) - TO_DAYS(appl_closed_date) > 90 /* days_before_appl_close */
    OR TO_DAYS(closing_date) - TO_DAYS(data_lock_date) < -10 /* days_lock_date_before_closingdate */
ORDER BY opening_date

• check pe_eff_siteID integrity:

SELECT main_personevents.personeventID, main_personevents.personID, main_sites.siteID, pe_eff_siteID, main_personevents.categorymoved, main_personevents.cospeaker, main_personevents.eff_dateblockID
FROM main_personevents
LEFT JOIN main_sites ON main_personevents.personeventID = main_sites.personeventID 
WHERE (main_personevents.pe_eff_siteID <> main_sites.siteID
OR (main_personevents.pe_eff_siteID IS NULL AND main_sites.siteID IS NOT NULL) 
OR (main_personevents.pe_eff_siteID IS NOT NULL AND main_sites.siteID IS NULL))
AND cospeaker = 0 AND categorymoved NOT IN ('stm', 'organizer')

• check if we have any visits with any of the user agents currently listed in class webstory -> $skip_useragent_keywords
• occasionally removed unused queries:
  • delete_query(false, array('queryID' => 0, 'queryID_compare' => '>=')); //it will auto probibit deleting used queries
• check that pastor e-mail addresses match e-mail address in our records (system should prohibit it though so any records shown here might be a result of a problem in the system. Also see e-mails with subject "E-mail changed" of 2010-09-06 and 2011-03-10):
  • SELECT main_people.personID, legal_firstname, legal_lastname, main_people.email, main_officers.email AS conf_email, pw FROM main_people INNER JOIN main_officers ON main_people.personID = main_officers.personID WHERE main_people.email <> main_officers.email

Dropdowns

• dropdowns binding a record to it's upper level must only show the upper level values within that branch of the tree

Boolean fields

All boolean fields (yes/no) have the field type TINYINT.

• 1 = yes / true
• 0 = no / false

This makes it easier to determine false and true in PHP.

Some fields also have additional special values like -1 or 2.

Use the label "- not set -" if the boolean value has not been set.

Adding/removing fields for, or links to, person record in main_people

• when deleting a person (main_persondelete.php and delete_person() ) consider this new field
• when merging a person (merge_person() ) consider this new field
• for foreign keys linking to main_people.personID, add a reference in person_alldata.php
• consider necessary changes to ShareHim Satellite

Deleting applicants

Deleting an applicant (meaning that he doesn't want to participate in the program anyway or he has been denied) does not result in an actual removal of the person from the database. We only delete the personevent record.

Deactivating records

To deactivate a record would be a very rare occurrence, only for example if a division re-organizes it's unions. In that case we deactive the unions that are no longer existing and by that we also cancel all current activities for those unions, like equipment booking and scheduled material shipments. This must/can then be re-booked and re-scheduled for the new unions created in stead. This is an example of the principle of deactivating records and theirs effects on the system.

User menus

• Procedures (= links) that aren't applicable at present should be grayed out
  • e.g.: only make active link to match speakers if there are any speakers that need to be matched
  • This will make an easy todo-list overview for the user
  • Group these kind of procedures together on the menu

Address formats

3 different formats (currently not differencing USA/Canada):

• USA
  • Street/PO
  • City, State, Zip
  • Country
• Canada
  • Street/PO
  • City, Province, X#X-#X#
  • Country
• Other
  • Street/PO
  • Postal information
  • Country

Telephone formats

On forms where people enter their phone number they need to enter the number WITHOUT country code and WITH area number.

On forms where people edit their phone number we will show a plus (+) and the country code in front of that number. We can do that since we have the country code for all countries in the table list_countries.

Log actions

Used in `sharehim_log` database in table `system_operations`, fields `action` and `subaction`

serial-no	deleted

Table might not yet be complete. (use SQL from file "Code pieces/SQL statements.txt" to make it complete)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• to minimize number of records the following log actions are deleted once in a while (after taking a local backup of the whole database so we have the information just in case we need it):

DELETE FROM system_operations WHERE `action` = 'campaign site' AND subaction = 'added'; /* date added is registered in main_sites anyway */

DELETE FROM system_operations WHERE `action` = 'login' AND subaction = 'success';

DELETE FROM system_operations WHERE `action` = 'login' AND subaction = 'failed';

DELETE FROM system_operations WHERE `action` = 'login' AND subaction = 'emulated';

DELETE FROM system_operations WHERE `action` = 'logout' AND subaction IS NULL;

Change Log prefixes

The following prefixes are used when entering comments in the CVS repository (see notes below the table):

ADD: When features/functional behaviours are added

CHG: When features/functional behaviours are changed

FIX: When a bug has been fixed

IMPROV: When features/functional behaviours have been improved (and it's neither a decided FIX, CHG, or ADD)

REMOVE: When a functional behaviour or out-dated code has been removed

UNDO: Undo a previous commit (usually the previous one of that file)

Any prefix can have " NWM" appended when it is a change that is "Not Worth Mentioning".

Any prefix can have " MAJOR" appended when it involves a major functionality change or upgrade.

The prefix is following by a colon, a space, and then the description. Examples:

ADD: link to change password

FIX NWM: corrected spelling

ADD MAJOR: donation management system

In very rare cases a prefix is not applicable and therefore not used.

If only functions have been changed we write a comma-seperated list of their names with "()" appended. For example:

ADD: get_dateblocks(), get_dateblock_info(): also return mediafolder field

If both functions and code in other places have been changed, we write the description normaly, but in the end list the functions that have been changed and/or added. For example:

ADD: interface for the new date block field mediafolder. Functions modified: get_dateblocks(), set_dateblock(). Functions added: get_mediafolder()

The same applies for JavaScript functions, but then we write "JS" with the parenthesis, for example: get_field_value(JS)

For PHP classes we write like this: 'class webservice_server'

The point here is to always add the names of functions and classes that are changed, so that it's possible to search CVS for all changes regarding those functions/classes.

Possible improvement (=not yet used): there should actually also be a keyword for deciding whether or not the entry should be seen for the general users of the website, so they know which changes have been made to the website that affect their work. Eg. "technical modification" or "functional modification".

Code-related tags

Codes that are put different places in the source code to link together different pieces of code that are related - to make it easier to maintain it and remember other places where we are dealing with the same thing. It's important that these tags are unique through ALL text files in the project so that they are easy to search for. Always write them in upper case.

INTL-EVENT-EMAIL	Places in code where we send e-mails related to international events.
KOREAN-EXCEPTION	Code dealing with the Korean Council customization in NAD division.
SHOW-CURRENT-DATES-FOR-MASTER-SITE	The places that we show current existing campaign dates for a master site.
TERMS-FOR-ASSIGNING-HOMELAND-SPEAKER	Places where we write the terms for assigning a speaker to a homeland campaign date
DIALOGBOX-LIKE-MESSAGE
LIST-CHURCH-PASTORS
CHECK-STORIES-LINKED-TO-SITE
CHECK-STATS-LINKED-TO-SITE

HOMELAND-JESUSVIDEO-USES	Places where we determine if we should deal with the Jesus video language in the homeland
OPENID-ENTRY-CODE	Places with code for OpenID that public users see. Can hide these pieces in case we want to disable it.
PROHIBIT-LOGIN	Places with code for prohibiting login from users who signed up for international trips from summer 2015 forward. We don't want them to think they have a user with us.
SKIPPED-TRANSL	Places in homeland system where I have skipped translating something
QUEST or QUEST-EXPERT	Questions I have for other (expert) programmers about issues I'm unsure about.

System entry points

Places where user will enter this system (might not be a complete list - check also with login.php)

• index.php

When mail provider changes IP (eg. causing mail queue just filling up)

Emails from the website is sent via Google Apps but system emails are still sent using this.

Steps to fix:

1. Get IP of nslookup yourmailserver.com
2. If IP has changed, stop postfix sudo /etc/init.d/postfix stop
3. sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf to update relayhost with new IP address and/or port
4. sudo nano /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd to add new IP/port
5. Delete old encoded sasl database: sudo rm /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db
6. Generate new encoded database: sudo postmap hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
7. Start postfix sudo /etc/init.d/postfix start
8. Send test message by: mail -s testing allan@sharehim.org. Next, type a line of text and then press Ctrl+D to send it.
9. Verify log file looks correct
10. Verify email made it though
11. If good, then lets try to resend and flush the queue: postqueue -f
12. View log file to see if messages start going out OK while checking status of postqueue -p to verify queue is decreasing

Server setup

Main webserver installation

• Apache/PHP and all the domains
• Subversion (probably good instructions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/60736/how-to-setup-a-subversion-svn-server-on-gnu-linux-ubuntu)
• Fail2ban
• Iptables
• Clamav?
• Postfix?
• SpamAssassin? (currently installed?)
• Dovecot? (is currently not installed)

• FTP: Uninstalled ProFTPp on 2016-04-10 after Chuck no longer needed to access the server. The configuration files are still there in /etc/proftpd and /etc/proftpd.orig though.

Installing WordPress

• To make WordPress not require use of FTP for updating, plugin and theme installs, www-data must be the owner all files and directories. Just setting even 777/666 permissions is not enough.

Installing updates

For Debian-based distributions do the following, all as root:

• apt-get update
• apt-get -dy dist-upgrade

After all packages have been downloaded successfully, then perform the actual install:

• apt-get dist-upgrade

Installing Let's Encrypt SSL certificates for https

(Source)

Do the following in your home folder:

git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt

cd letsencrypt

./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d subdomain.domain.com

Syncing between Linux and Google Drive/S3/other cloud services with rclone

WARNING! rclone is not stable enough, at least as of 2016-11. It fails uploading some files and uploads some files twice. So I ended up using Total Commander with Cloud plugin instead - and it's folder sync tool. Mac alternative could maybe be: http://www.expandrive.com/, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sync-folders/id530573877?mt=12 These tools doesn't work for making backups though...

• Download rclone from http://rclone.org/downloads/
• Extract and put "rclone" in /usr/local/bin/ (and give it execute permissions)
• Run "rclone config" and create a new remote.
  • Google Drive:
    • Name: type an appropriate name (eg. "SharehimGDrive")
    • Client ID: leave blank
    • Client secret: leave blank
    • Use auto config?: no
    • Open the link it provides in a browser and paste the resulting code
    • Test with eg. "rclone lsd SharehimGDrive:" to list root content
    • If you get the error "The domain policy has disabled third-party Drive apps" following these directions: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14502443/2404541
  • Amazon S3:
    • Get access key, secret key, and region from pw manager.
    • Test with eg. "rclone lsd SharehimS3:sharehim" to show files in the root of the "sharehim" bucket.

It can even sync between two cloud services (= remotes). We use it to backup S3 to Google Drive, as well as backing up tn1 to Google Drive.

Note that when sync'ing the current version 1.28 doesn't delete folders on the destination that have been deleted on the source side. Only all the deleted files are being removed. Watch here for updates: https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/100#issuecomment-206783804

Generic documentation

Signing the installers with a code signing certificate

Getting the required files

On 2016-04-18 we purchased a 5-year certificate from http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/ (we found cheaper prices elsewhere (here) but they matched that and gave us a discount code for $56.94/yr for a 5-year period).

When making the purchase the default options are fine. Choose:

• "Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0"
• Key size of 2048
• Exportable (CHECKED)
• NOT user protected (DO NOT CHECK)

Export the certificate after going through the process. It is auto-installed to IE. To export the certificate, follow the directions here: https://www.godaddy.com/help/exporting-a-code-signing-certificate-from-internet-explorer-or-firefox-4782 Make sure to choose to export the private key. Do NOT select any options to delete the private key if the export is successful.

Do the following to convert the exported PFX code signing file to PVK and SPC (source):

1. Ensure OpenSSL is installed (get here or here).
2. Download the PVK Transform Utility (Allan has a local copy).

3. openssl pkcs12 ‐in ShareHim.pfx ‐nocerts ‐nodes ‐out tmp_file1.pem

   Allan has the pw in pw manager.

4. pvk ‐in tmp_file1.pem ‐topvk ‐out ShareHim.pvk

   Enter password to be used for signing files (Allan has it in pw manager).

5. openssl pkcs12 ‐in ShareHim.pfx ‐nokeys ‐out tmp_file2.pem

6. openssl crl2pkcs7 ‐nocrl ‐certfile tmp_file2.pem ‐outform DER ‐out ShareHim.spc

7. Delete the temporary .pem files (I believe there is no need for them anymore)

Signing on Windows

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1451959/where-do-you-download-signcode-exe-and-other-tools

K Software also provide a tool for signing files: http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/#ksign

Signing on Linux

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18287960/signing-windows-application-on-linux-based-distros

Using osslsigncode

The advantage of osslsigncode is that the password can be specified as a command line option, so it's easier to automate. It also works on both .exe and .msi files.

For it to work with .msi you need to run the configure command as ./configure --with-gsf, which will require you to do apt-get install libgsf-1-dev. If you don't need support for .msi you don't need gsf.

Also, if configure complains about Curl you need to install the package libcurl4-openssl-dev (source).

osslsigncode sign -certs /home/allan/code_signing_files/ShareHim.spc -key /home/allan/code_signing_files/ShareHim.pvk -pass <pvk-password> -n "ShareHim Presenter" -i https://sharehim.org/ -in /var/www/ShareHim-Presenter-xxxxxxxxx.exe -out /var/www/ShareHim-Presenter-xxxxxxxxx-signed.exe

The -n parameter should be the name of the program. It is shown to the end-user in User Account Control dialog box when the installer is executed.

Using Mono's signcode

Make sure you follow all the directions for Debian 8+ for adding the package repositories. Only need to install the mono-devel package. Run the following command to sign the .exe file:

signcode -spc /home/allan/code_signing_files/ShareHim.spc -v /home/allan/code_signing_files/ShareHim.pvk -a sha1 -$ commercial -n "ShareHim Presenter" -i https://sharehim.org/ -t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll -tr 10 /var/www/ShareHim-Presenter-xxxxxxxxx.exe

The -n parameter should be the name of the program. It is shown to the end-user in User Account Control dialog box when the installer is executed.

It cannot sign .msi files though.
