Verisign signtool可以在windows环境中签署jar文件吗？

Question

I used the following command:

C:\Verisign>signtool sign /v /ac "MSCV-VSClass3.cer"/s  MY /n "ABC Company LTD" /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll  TestRun.jar

and I get the following result:

SignTool Error: This file format cannot be signed because it is not recognized.

Can someone help me to resolve this issue? Does VeriSign not support signing jars?

Answer 1

No, signtool doesn't know how to sign JAR files. It knows how to sign a few Microsoft known formats, such as PE, CAB, and MSI - but not JAR.

To sign a JAR file on Windows, use Oracle's jarsigner tool. A verisign certificate will work, you just need to use a different tool that actually does the signing.
