First, initialize the master seed.
#./signer init
WARNING!
The signer is alpha software, and not yet publically released. This software has _not_ been audited, and there
are no guarantees about the workings of this software. It may contain severe flaws. You should not use this software
unless you agree to take full responsibility for doing so, and know what you are doing.
TLDR; THIS IS NOT PRODUCTION-READY SOFTWARE!
Enter 'ok' to proceed:
>ok
A master seed has been generated into /home/martin/.signer/secrets.dat
This is required to be able to store credentials, such as :
* Passwords for keystores (used by rule engine)
* Storage for javascript rules
* Hash of rule-file
You should treat that file with utmost secrecy, and make a backup of it.
NOTE: This file does not contain your accounts. Those need to be backed up separately!
(for readability purposes, we'll remove the WARNING printout in the rest of this document)
Now, you can create a rule-file.
function ApproveListing(){
return "Approve"
}
Get the sha256
hash....
#sha256sum rules.js
6c21d1737429d6d4f2e55146da0797782f3c0a0355227f19d702df377c165d72 rules.js
...And then attest
the file:
#./signer attest 6c21d1737429d6d4f2e55146da0797782f3c0a0355227f19d702df377c165d72

At this point, we then start the signer with the rule-file:
#./signer --rules rules.json

Any list-requests will now be auto-approved by our rule-file.
While doing the operations above, these files have been created:

In ~/.signer
, the secrets.dat
file was created, containing the master_seed
.
The master_seed
was then used to derive a few other things:
vault_location
: in this case 43f73718397aa54d1b22
.
master_seed
, another vault_location
will be used that does not conflict with each other.signer --signersecret /path/to/afile ...
config.json
which is the encrypted key/value storage for configuration data, containing the key ruleset_sha256
.In order to make more useful rules; sign transactions, the signer needs access to the passwords needed to unlock keystores.
#./signer addpw 0x694267f14675d7e1b9494fd8d72fefe1755710fa test
INFO [02-21|13:43:21] Credential store updated key=0x694267f14675d7e1b9494fd8d72fefe1755710fa
Now let's update the rules to make use of credentials
function ApproveListing(){
return "Approve"
}
function ApproveSignData(r){
if( r.address.toLowerCase() == "0x694267f14675d7e1b9494fd8d72fefe1755710fa")
{
if(r.message.indexOf("bazonk") >= 0){
return "Approve"
}
return "Reject"
}
// Otherwise goes to manual processing
}
In this example,
0x694...
will be
bazonk
,..attest the new file
#sha256sum rules.js

And start the signer:
#./signer --rules rules.js

And then test signing, once with bazonk
and once without:
#curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"account_sign\",\"params\":[\"0x694267f14675d7e1b9494fd8d72fefe1755710fa\",\"0x$(xxd -pu <<< ' bazonk baz gaz')\"],\"id\":67}" http://localhost:8550/

Meanwhile, in the signer output:

INFO [02-21|14:42:56] Op rejected
The signer also stores all traffic over the external API in a log file. The last 4 lines shows the two requests and their responses:
