Manifest Configuration File Example

[The AD RMS SDK leveraging functionality exposed by the client in Msdrm.dll is available for use in Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, and Windows 8. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Instead, use Active Directory Rights Management Services SDK 2.1, which leverages functionality exposed by the client in Msipc.dll.]

The following example shows a basic manifest configuration file.

AUTO-GUID

"C:\\myfolder\\TestSigningKeyPriv.dat"

MODULELIST
    REQ HASH "C:\\Development Programs\\My Program.exe"
    REQ NOHASH "C:\\Windows\\system32\\msdrm.dll"

POLICYLIST
    INCLUSION
        PUBLICKEY "C:\\myfolder\\TestSigningKeyPub.dat"
    EXCLUSION

Example Highlights

For more information about the elements used in a configuration file, see Manifest Configuration File Syntax. Note the following points about the preceding example:

  • TestSigningKeyPriv.dat is the name of the file that contains the private key used to sign the manifest. For more information, see Obtaining a Key Pair for Manifest Signing.
  • TestSigningKeyPub.dat is the name of the file that contains the public key associated with the private key.
  • The application name is specified in the MODULELIST element and associated with the REQ HASH element. Quotation marks are used because there is a space in the application name. The quotation marks used elsewhere in the configuration file are not required.
  • The NOHASH element indicates that the Msdrm.dll library is not hashed. This enables you to incorporate updated versions of Msdrm.dll without creating a new manifest.

Creating a Manifest

Save the configuration file with an .mcf extension and call the Genmanifest.exe command–line program by using the following syntax:

genmanifest [-chain SignedChainPathAndFile] SourceMCFPath DestinationXMLPath

For more information, see Genmanifest.exe. You must generate a new manifest each time you compile your program, and the manifest can contain only one executable file. This file must own the process that is running Active Directory Rights Management.
