Signing

You can use backend signing or frontend signing to manage the qz certificates according to your needs. Depending the approach you are going to use there is a few steps to follow before using the plugin.

• Backend signing : To use this approach it should be a backend running with the necessary routes. See the docs for more information.

• Frontend signing : To use this approach you need to import the jsrsasign library in your index.html.

  
   <!-- web/index.html --> 
  
   <!-- jsrsasign library required for JavaScript signing. In production,download and reference a local copy!!-->
