"sign-tmpl" command is mostly a test tool for xmlsec itself.
The signature is hard coded to use HMAC, some very specific
XPath transform, etc. You probably don't want to use it.

Hello,

Can someone please explain to me the correct usage of the --sign-tmpl
command for xmlsec1?

I have been able to successfully sign a template file using the --sign
command.

This is what I have done:

$openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 2048
$openssl rsa -pubout -in private_key.pem -out public_key.pem

The test file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#";>
 <Data>
 Hello, World!
 </Data>
</Envelope>


$ xmlsec1 --sign-tmpl --privkey-pem private_key.pem test-sig.xml
func=xmlSecKeysMngrGetKey:file=keys.c:line=1364:obj=unknown:subj=xmlSecKeysMngrFindKey:error=1:xmlsec
library function failed:
func=xmlSecDSigCtxProcessKeyInfoNode:file=xmldsig.c:line=871:obj=unknown:subj=unknown:error=45:key
is not found:
func=xmlSecDSigCtxProcessSignatureNode:file=xmldsig.c:line=565:obj=unknown:subj=xmlSecDSigCtxProcessKeyInfoNode:error=1:xmlsec
library function failed:
func=xmlSecDSigCtxSign:file=xmldsig.c:line=303:obj=unknown:subj=xmlSecDSigCtxSigantureProcessNode:error=1:xmlsec
library function failed:
Error: signature failed
Error: failed to create and sign template

Adding a signature template to the above file and using the --sign
command works. It is also possible to successfully verify the signed
file using the public key.
xmlsec1 --sign --privkey-pem private_key.pem test-sig.xml

I'm obviously missing something fundamental here...

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Atul
