I/O errors occured during security authorization

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Hi,

I'm running a mozilla version of signtool.

It works and signs an xpi file in dos command prompt as well as a cygwin bash shell, but when run as a program in final builder, dos command, or external batch file through final builder, all three return the following error message:

"signtool: function failed: An I/O error occured during security authorization."

I would assume that FB is not receiving the password correctly, but I'm not sure what to do.

Here is an example script:  C:\nss-3.11.4\bin\signtool -d C\*\test\db -k myTestCert -p "password" C:\*\test

When it succeeds it outputs this meassage tree "C:\*\test\" signed successfully.

Any help resolving this problem would be much appreciated!

Hi Parker

You don’t say which action you are using, it should be “Execute Program” when executing signtool, or Run Dos Command when executing a batch file. Also, make sure you set the starting directory property. I did a google on this error and it seems it’s quite common with signtool and possibly path related (missing a shared library or something like that).

Hi Vincent.

I was using the Mozilla NSS 11.4.3 tool, and I believe there was a bug in the signtool program, and it had nothing to do with finalbuilder.

I tried the 10.0 version of NSS and the password was passed through the parameter.

I appreciate your help.
