Learn how to use the Signing Tool to sign supported records in ServiceNow applications.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin

To perform these steps, you must have the following:

* A ServiceNow application that has records to be signed.
* A private key for signing records.
* The signRecords.sh script in your local environment, with execute permission.  
  Wichtig:  
  The signRecords.sh script is included as part of the signing-tool jar file, which you must request from [ServiceNow customer support](https://support.servicenow.com/).

## Prozedur

1. In your local environment, navigate to the directory containing the signRecords.sh script.
2. Use the following command format to sign your records:  

       ./signRecords.sh -d [Path to the root directory of the ServiceNow Application to Sign] -f [Path to the Keystore file]

   For example:

       ./signRecords.sh -d /users/abc/ServiceNow-App-1 -f /users/abc/codesigning.p12

3. If prompted, enter the password for the keystore.  
   Press Enter if there's no password.
4. Review the output to confirm a successful signing.

       INFO: CODESIGN: codesigning successfully completed!

   In the preceding output example, the Signing Tool used the provided keystore file to sign the record. You can also see that:
   * The script found a supported record `65e811327702111057416efe7c5a994f` and signed it.
   * In the ServiceNow-App-1 directory, two records created: `sys_certificate.xml` and `sn_kmf_record_signature.xml`.
