Manifest definition file

The manifest definition file is a JSON formatted file with a .json extension. Relative file paths are interpreted as relative to the location of the definition file unless you specify a base_path field.

Example manifest definition file

Here's an example of a manifest definition that inserts a CreativeWork author assertion. Copy this JSON int a file to use as a test manifest.

It is important to provide a value for the Time Authority URL (the ta_url property) to have a valid timestamp on the claim.

The default certificates in the sample folder are built into the c2patool binary. This example uses the default testing certs. You will see a warning message when using them, since they are meant for development purposes only.

NOTE: Use the default private key and signing certificate only for development. For actual use, provide a permanent key and cert in the manifest definition or environment variables; see Creating and using an X.509 certificate.
