Manifest Configuration File Syntax

  • 아티클

[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 syntax of a manifest configuration file (MCF) is shown in the following diagram. To create a manifest, you must supply a completed configuration file to the Genmanifest.exe program.

Syntax

VALIDITYTIME

An optional value that specifies the manifest validity period. If the period is specified, both FROM and UNTIL values must be included. The validity time format is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM. For example, 2002-08-19T22:14 represents 10:14 P.M., August 19, 2002.

ID of certificate or license

A value that specifies an ID number to assign to the created manifest. If you do not manually assign a number, you must use the AUTO-GUID element, which instructs Genmanifest.exe to generate a number automatically.

Private key file path

A required value that specifies a cryptographic service provider (CSP) and hardware security module (HSM) or the path to a .dat file that contains the private key used to sign the manifest. If you specify a private key, the associated public key is identified by the INCLUSION element. If any folder name in the path contains a space, surround the entire path with quotation marks. For more information about keys, see Obtaining a Key Pair for Manifest Signing.

ISSUER

An optional block that describes the issuer of the license by using TYPE ("Corporation" for example) and ID elements. You can also specify the issuer name and zero or more addresses.

MODULELIST

A required block that describes the file or files that the manifest verifies. Your application must be listed here.

  • REQ specifies one or more required files.
  • OPT specifies a file that may be loaded.
  • HASH instructs Genmanifest.exe to create a hash of the specified file and include it in the manifest. HASH is the default value.
  • NOHASH indicates that no hash will be created but that the file has been either single signed or catalog (CAT) file–signed using Authenticode, with the public key of the CAT file key pair listed in the INCLUSION block. Only Microsoft Authenticode signing is supported. For more information, see Authenticode Signing Included Modules. CAT files are used by the operating system to store signatures of binary files.

POLICYLIST

A required value that lists the modules that can or cannot be loaded into a secure environment. Modules specified by the INCLUSION element can be loaded but are not required. Modules those specified by the EXCLUSION element cannot be loaded. The following rules apply to each type:

  • INCLUSION files can be specified by using the PUBLICKEY element which identifies the path to a file that contains a public key. At least one value must be specified, the public key that matches the private key specified at the beginning of the file. You can also specify additional public keys associated with the private keys used for single-signed or CAT file-signed modules.
  • EXCLUSION files can be specified by using any of the following elements:
    • The PUBLICKEY element identifies a path to a file that contains the public key associated with a private key used to sign a manifest or a module.
    • The DIG element identifies the path of the excluded file and creates a digest to include in the manifest.
    • The FILE element lists the file name, minimum version, and maximum version. You must include the minimum and maximum version numbers.

MCF File Sample

The following example shows an MCF file that uses many of the elements discussed in the preceding section.

AUTO-GUID

%MYBASEPATH%\\keys\\mypriv1024.dat

MODULELIST
  REQ HASH MyApp.exe
  REQ NOHASH %SystemRoot%\\system32\\kernel32.dll
  OPT     %SystemRoot%\\system32\\msvcrt.dll


POLICYLIST
  INCLUSION
       PUBLICKEY     C:\\mypub1024.dat

  EXCLUSION
       DIG          C:\\ecsrv.dll
       DIG          C:\\ud.dll
       PUBLICKEY     C:\\SampleExcPubKey.dat
       FILE          MyApp.exe 5.1.3500.0 5.1.3572.0

General Rules

The following list identifies several guidelines to follow when creating MCF files:

  • Line spaces are inserted for readability only. Genmanifest.exe ignores all white space when it processes the configuration file.
  • Block comments are allowed within standard C comment delimiters (/*...*/).
  • Text is not case-sensitive.
  • File paths can be absolute or relative and can include environment variables.
  • The backslash () is an escape character. When building a file path, you must use two backslashes (\) to avoid errors, even when the path is enclosed in quotation marks.
  • String values that include a space must be enclosed in quotation marks. Therefore, C:\\Myfile.fil does not need surrounding quotation marks, but "C:\\My file.fil" does.
  • A manifest can contain only one .exe file (your application), and this file must own the process that is running Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS).
