Validation page

The validation can be done on a page without access restriction informing the file UUID or the file to be validated.

Route	Description
/apps/libresign/validation	Document validation home page. On this page it is possible to send a binary or enter a file UUID for validation.
/apps/libresign/validation/	Enter the UUID of the file in the URL and go straight to the page informing the signature data.

To have a short URL at the bottom of the document, you can add these directives to your Nginx. Replace domains with those for your application.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name validate.yourdomain.coop;
    location ~ "\/(?<uuid>[a-fA-F0-9]{8}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}-[a-fA-F0-9]{12})" {
        rewrite ^ $scheme://cloud.yourdomain.coop/apps/libresign/validation/$uuid;
    }
    location ~ / {
        return 301 $scheme://cloud.yourdomain.coop/apps/libresign/validation;
    }
}

With this configuration when accessing validate.yourdomain.coop/b9809a7e-ab6e-11eb-bcbc-0242ac130002 you will be redirected to cloud.yourdomain.coop/apps/libresign/validation/b9809a7e-ab6e-11eb-bcbc-0242ac130002
