Good Morning.

We are building interface with the SAP Content Server. We require some help from you on the following items.

Referring to the SAP Content Server HTTP Interface API 4.5/4.6,

The library for checking signatures can be obtained from SAP AG. Because the standard format PKCS#7 was used for the signature, other products can also be used for decoding.

From page 8, can you lets us know where we can get them.

We would also want to know what is the message digest algorithm in Archive Link.

Hi,

SAP content server is using DSS for signing URL parameters. The NIST FIPS-180-3 specification defines which hash functions can be used in DSS. My guess is that it's using SHA1. I doubt that it's using newer version like SHA-256.

Cheers
