Keyvault Gatekeeper

Retreives code signing and notarization credentials from Azure Key Vault and delegates the signing and notarization process to a local server.

How it works

The priviliged process can read certificate and secrets from Azure KeyVault based on the configuration passed in via the start command. The unprivileged process has no direct access to the KeyVault and instead communicates with the privileged process via http server and the keyvault-gatekeeper/client npm package.

Usage

Basic Command

keyvault-gatekeeper start

Options

• --mac-cert <name>: Name of the Mac certificate to use in Azure KeyVault
• --mac-notarize <json>: JSON object containing appleId, teamId, and the name of the appSpecificPassword reference in Azure KeyVault
• --mac-installer-cert <name>: Name of the Mac installer certificate to use in Azure KeyVault
• --mas-development-cert <name>: Name of the Mac App Store development certificate to use in Azure KeyVault
• --mas-distribution-cert <name>: Name of the Mac App Store distribution certificate to use in Azure KeyVault
• --mas-installer-cert <name>: Name of the Mac App Store installer certificate to use in Azure KeyVault
• --windows-cert <name>: Name of the Windows certificate to use in Azure KeyVault
• --secrets <json>: JSON object containing the secrets to use in Azure KeyVault

Example command

keyvault-gatekeeper start --mac-cert "azure-keyvault-reference-to-cert" --mac-notarize '{"appleId": "appleId", "teamId": "teamId", "appSpecificPassword$": "azure-keyvault-reference-to-secret"}' --secrets='{"GITHUB_PAT":"5072cc0c-3de0-4b88-be27-b054bdbbf8dd"}'

Environment Variables

• AZURE_KEY_VAULT_CREDENTIALS: Base64 encoded JSON string containing Azure Key Vault credentials (url, id, secret, tenantId)

Examples

1. Request a secret:

import { requestSecret } from "keyvault-gatekeeper/client";

const secret = await getSecret("GITHUB_PAT");

2. Request a certificate in base64 format:

import { getCertBase64 } from "keyvault-gatekeeper/client";

const cert = await getCertBase64("mac");

3. Notarize a file (macOS only):

import {
	getNotarizationCredentials,
	signFile,
} from "keyvault-gatekeeper/client";
import { notarize } from "@electron/notarize";

const notarizationCredentials = await getNotarizationCredentials();
await notarize({
	...notarizationCredentials,
	appPath: "./out/make/mas-x64/My App.app",
});

4. Sign a file (Windows only):

import { signFile } from "keyvault-gatekeeper/client";

const signedFile = await signFile("c:/path/to/test.exe");
