Cathy,

You can accomplish this by adding the –n argument to the keygen command and running it twice: once to generate the signing key pair and once to generate the encryption key pair:

keygen.bat -h http://client.serviceprovider.com -e https://client.serviceprovider/shibboleth -y 10 -n sp-signing
keygen.bat -h http://client.serviceprovider.com -e https://client.serviceprovider/shibboleth -y 10 -n sp-encrypt

Subject: Seeking command to generate separate signing and encryption keys

Hello all,

I'm testing Shib SP v3.1 in Windows and can't figure out how to generate a separate signing and encryption key.

Previously in v2, I would use this command to generate a single keypair used for signing and encryption:
keygen.bat -h http://client.serviceprovider.com -e https://client.serviceprovider/shibboleth -y 10

Please advise what the new command is to get key="sp-signing-key.pem" certificate="sp-signing-cert.pem"/> and key="sp-encrypt-key.pem" certificate="sp-encrypt-cert.pem".

Thanks,
Cathy
