How to Apply App Certificates: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:40, 6 March 2024

Overview

In WizarPOS terminals, app installation requires APK signature verification through the root certificate chain, in addition to the standard Android signature check. Only APKs signed with the root certificate or a child certificate are permitted. Developers must obtain a signing certificate from WizarPOS. Refer to wizarPOSDevCertificateApplyGuide_en.pdf for detailed application procedures.

Prerequisites

A PC with Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.
Use the 'keytool' command in the JDK.

Steps to Generate a Private Keystore

 keytool -genkeypair -keystore demo.jks -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -alias androiddebugkey -dname "EMAILADDRESS=myname@abc.com, CN=MyName, OU=RD, O=ABC company, L=Shanghai, ST=Shanghai, C=CN"

Ensure the domain name reflects your company's actual information.

Field	Value	Description
CN	Common name	developer name or project name
OU	Organization unit	Department name
O	Organization	Company name
L	Locality name
ST	state or province name
C	Country name codes	Country_Name_Codes

Set the 'EMAILADDRESS' to your company's official email.
For use in Eclipse as a custom debug keystore, set the alias to “androiddebugkey” and password to “android”. Otherwise, choose any alias and password.

Generating and Sending CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

Export CSR:
- Follow the standard procedure to generate a CSR using keytool.

 keytool -certreq -keystore demo.jks -alias androiddebugkey > demo.csr

Submit CSR to WizarPOS:
- Email the CSR with the following details:
  - Sales Person: Name of your WizarPOS contact.
  - Company Name: Your company's name.
  - Attachment: Include the CSR file.
- Send to: WizarPOS sales staff (add first), support@wizarpos.com, techsupport@wizarpos.com.

Import the Certificate Chain

Save the WizarPOS reply (in *.crt or *.pem format) in the same folder as your keystore file.:

 keytool -importcert -keystore demo.jks -file file-name-of-CSR-reply -alias androiddebugkey

Store the Certificate File:
- Save the *.pem file from WizarPOS's reply in the same directory as your keystore (jks) file. The filename will be as specified in the WizarPOS reply, referred to here as 'file-name-of-CSR-reply'.
Import the Certificate Chain:
- Use the appropriate tool to import the certificate chain file into your keystore.
- During the import process, when prompted to trust the certificate, select "Yes" or the equivalent affirmative option in your language.

FAQ

Keytool Access

Location: 'keytool.exe' is found in the JRE directory, typically 'XXX/Java/jreXXX/bin'.
Usage:
- If the 'JAVA_HOME' environment variable is set, 'keytool' can be run from any directory.
- Without 'JAVA_HOME' set, you must navigate to the JRE directory to execute 'keytool' commands.

Resolving Keysize Issues during Keypair Generation

Solution:
- Download the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files for your Java version:
  - For Java 6: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-6-download-429243.html
  - For Java 7: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-7-download-432124.html
- Copy 'local_policy.jar' and 'US_export_policy.jar' into '$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security'.

CSR (Certificate Signing Request) Validation

Procedure:
- Open the exported CSR in Notepad.
- A valid CSR begins with "-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----" and ends with "-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----", with content in between.
- If the CSR contains only an error message, address the specified issue as per the message.

Handling Expired Certificates

Renewal Process:
- Email the expired certificate to support@wizarpos.com for renewal.
- WizarPOS support will send back the renewed certificate.
- Import the renewed certificate into the keystore that holds the expired certificate.
