Workers Add Page

Worker ID

Numeric ID of the worker to create, or the text GENID to have the next available ID assigned automatically.

 If the ID specified already exists, the properties specified here will replace any existing properties with the same name in the original worker. Other properties in the original worker will remain.

Examples:

• GENID1
• 134

Name

Name of the worker to create. The specified name should not already exist.

Examples:

• MyPDFSigner1
• HSMCryptoTokenSlot10

Implementation Class

Fully qualified class name of the implementation for the worker.

For information on available workers, see SignServer Workers.

Crypto Token Class

Fully qualified class name of the implementation for the crypto token.

Should only be used when adding a crypto worker. For normal workers/signers, a crypto token can instead be referenced by adding the CRYPTOTOKEN worker property as an additional property containing the name of a crypto worker having a crypto token.

Example: org.signserver.server.signers.CryptoWorker

Type

Type of worker to add:

• PROCESSABLE: A processable worker that can receive and process requests, for example a signer.
• CRYPTO_WORKER: Special worker with the only purpose of holding a crypto token. This worker can be referenced by other workers that need a crypto token.
• TIMES_SERVICE: Can be configured to execute periodically to perform some task.
• SPECIAL: A worker not fitting in with the other types.

Additional Properties

Any other properties to directly add to the worker.

Click Add... to provide name and value of an additional property, and then click Add again to have the new property listed.

After adding a property, you can click Edit to change the value, and Remove to not have it listed for addition.

For more information on generic properties available for any workers, and more specific properties used by selected worker or signer token implementation, see the SignServer Reference section.
