Sign the JAR File

Now you are ready to sign the JAR file.

In your command window, type the following to (1) sign the JAR file Contract.jar using the private key in the keystore entry aliased by "signLegal", and (2) name the resulting signed JAR file sContract.jar:

jarsigner -keystore stanstore -signedjar sContract.jar 
    Contract.jar signLegal 

(Type all that on one line.)

You will be prompted for the store password ("balloon53", without the quotes) and the private key password ("cat876").

Note: jarsigner extracts the certificate from the keystore entry whose alias is "signLegal" and attaches it to the generated signature of the signed JAR file.
