Changes to existing tools

Several existing tools have been modified to accommodate module signing.

Software Manager/Commissioning Wizard

Both the Software Manager and Commissioning Wizard show an added icon in the Installed Version and Available Version columns indicating the signature status of the installed and available modules, as shown here.

 
NOTE: A red icon (Image) there are errors that are not acceptable for the current module verification mode. A yellow icon (Image)there are warnings, but they are acceptable for the current module verification mode. A green icon (Image) indicates that the module is signed with a Certificate Authority (CA). For details, see “Signature statuses” in this chapter.

The Software Details window also includes signature status details for installed and available modules. This window displays all the signature statuses of the selected module with additional details. It will also provide a link to view the certificate that the module is signed with.

Attempting to install modules with signature warnings will cause a Signature Warning dialog to be displayed.

Station Copier changes

When installing a station that requires additional dependencies to be installed using the Station Copier, any signature warnings for the dependencies will be displayed in a Signature Warning dialog, and any signature errors will cause station copy to fail.

Provisioning Install Software step changes

The Provisioning Install Software step dialog shows signature status icons next to each version of each available module. Selecting modules with signature warnings will cause a warning dialog to display.

NOTE: Even if the warnings are accepted, the modules may fail to install on the remote host(s) since the verification mode and trust store of the remote host(s) cannot be determined until the job is run. The job log will provide more details for any failures.
