Property Description
Signature Padding Scheme Define the signature padding scheme to be used by the signing service while performing signing operations. The default parameter value is:
  • SIGNATURE_PADDING_SCHEME = PKCS1
Possible values are PKCS1 and PSS

Note: Click here for more details on limitations when PSS padding scheme is used.
V3 CMS signatures Used to generate the CMS V3 signatures.
  • CREATE_CMS_V3_SIGNATURE = FALSE
Note: only supported while doing server side hashing.
UBL signatures Used to generate the UBL 2.1 compliant XML enveloped signatures only.
  • UBL_COMPLIANT_SIGNATURES = FALSE

User Activation Threshold
It defines the time period in minutes for which the signer status remains INACTIVE upon authentication failure limit elapsed. Once this period is elapsed, the signer status is automatically reverted to ACTIVE. This property is used in conjunction with property "USER_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE_LIMIT". 
  • USER_ACTIVATION_THRESHOLD = 60
Default value: 60 minutes.
User Authentication Failure Limit
It defines the number of failed authentications after which the signer status is automatically marked as INACTIVE. The inactivity duration is defined using the property "USER_ACTIVATION_THRESHOLD". 
  • USER_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE_LIMIT = 0
Default value: 0 (i.e. unlimited failed authentications allowed)

Signature Cache Expiry Threshold
It defines the time period in minutes to keep meta info in cache that is stored by Signing Service against every request in case of remote authorisation signing. On time elapse, cache entry will be removed by an automated process. The cache expiry threshold is defined using the following property:
  • SIGNATURE_CACHE_EXPIRY_THRESHOLD = 5
Default value: 5 minutes.
Signature Cache Clear Interval
It defines the time interval after which the automated process will remove the meta info from the cache. This cache is used by Signing Service in case of remote authorisation signing. The cache clearance interval is defined using the following property:
  • SIGNATURE_CACHE_CLEAR_INTERVAL = 5
Default value: 5 minutes.
SOAP version Version of SOAP message when the response XML is produced.
  • SOAP_VERSION = 1.1
Possible values are 1.1 and 1.2
Transaction logs settings Transactions can be stored either directly or delayed for better performance. The following properties are used for logging:
  • TRANSACTION_LOG_MODE = LAZY
    Used to decide whether the transactions are kept in memory before these are stored in the database (LAZY logging) or directly stored in the database (EAGER logging). Possible values: LAZY, EAGER
    In case of LAZY logging the transaction logs are kept in memory upto the number of seconds configured in TRANSACTION_LOG_LAZY_INTERVAL or number of transactions configured in TRANSACTION_LOG_LAZY_RECORD_COUNT whichever is reached first

  • TRANSACTION_LOG_LAZY_INTERVAL = 2
    When LAZY logging is configured, transactions are kept in memory upto the configured time or if the configured TRANSACTION_LOG_LAZY_RECORD_COUNT is reached before it

  • TRANSACTION_LOG_LAZY_RECORD_COUNT = 50
    When LAZY logging is configured, transactions are kept in memory until the configured number of transactions is reached or if the configured TRANSACTION_LOG_LAZY_INTERVAL is met before it.
