LiveCycle ES2.5: Introduction to Digital Signatures
Course Length
1 day
Prerequisites
Developing a LiveCycle ES2.5 Application workshop or the minimum skill set/knowledge for this workshop is to be able to:
-
Complete the online module: How a Digital Signature Works
-
Create a multi-step process in Workbench
-
Test and troubleshoot a process in Workbench
Audience
The content will be geared toward developers who are familiar with LiveCycle and want to further their knowledge of the Digital Signatures ES2 module.
Description
This workshop is designed as an introduction to digital signature technology and to LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES2. In addition to providing you with theory about LiveCycle Digital Signatures, a large segment of the training is devoted to hands-on exercises as well as demonstrations. For each lesson, we will start with an activity to introduce you to some of the concepts that will be covered in the lesson. We will then cover the content of the lessons using a combination of lectures and demonstrations. We will finish off each lesson with an exercise where you can put into practice the functionality covered in the lesson. The exercises are divided into tasks and build upon each other to configure Acrobat/Reader, sign and certify documents and validate digital signatures on the client and server side.
To complete this workshop, there is a self-paced lab that consists of a set of requirements from which you must create your own end-to-end solution that implements the functionality covered during this workshop. The workshop uses Adobe LiveCycle Workbench ES2, which is the integrated development environment (IDE) for creating LiveCycle applications. In this IDE, you will design processes, however, you will also touch on the Administrative User Interface as we complete the application.
