The BlackBerry® Signature Tool is included in the BlackBerry® Java® Development Environment. The BlackBerry JDE is available
for download at
www.blackberry.com/developers
. The Web Signer application is installed when you install the BlackBerry®
Signing Authority Tool.
For more information about the Web Signer application, see the BlackBerry Signing Authority Tool version 1.0 - Password Based
Administrator Guide.
Before you begin:
You must obtain a .csi file from Research In Motion.
1.
In Windows® Internet Explorer®, locate the .cod file for the BlackBerry device application for which you are requesting a
signature.
2.
Make sure that a .csl file with the same name as the .cod file exists in the same folder as the .cod file. The BlackBerry®
Integrated Development Environment compiler automatically generates the .csl file.
3.
Double-click the .cod file to add it to the signature list. The signature list contains information on the .cod files that you
want permission to access and are requesting signatures for.
4.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each .cod file that you want to add to the signature list.
5.
On the BlackBerry Signature Tool menu, click
Request
.
6.
In the dialog box, type your private key password.
7.
Click
OK
.
The BlackBerry Signature Tool uses the private key password to append the signature to the request, and it sends the signature
list of .cod files to the Web Signer application for verification.

You can register each .csi file only once.
