 **Disclaimer:** This sample project is provided as is for reference purposes only. It is not intended to represent production quality code.
+The application demonstrates functions like:
+  * Obtaining the value of a Base64 document string from an XML file.
+  * Calculating a SHA384 Hash and converting the hash to a Base64 string.
+  * Logging in to obtain a soft-token for use with the various web services.
+  * Calling StoreChecksum web service to store a checksum value.
+  * Calling the ValidateChecksum web service to validate a checksum value.

 To use the tool, the typical order of steps would be:
-Enter your User Name and Password. (These are special web service user accounts provided to you by CeRTNA)
+{{tablelayout?colwidth="200px,400px"&rowsFixed=1&rowsVisible=10&float=center}}
-Select/Load an XML file.
+^ Step ^ Comment ^
-Identify which Doc Seq# contained in the XML file that you wish to work with.
+| Enter User Name & PW | These are special web service user accounts provided to you by CeRTNA. |
-Click the Calculate button. (The SHA3 checksum is calculated and displayed in the Base64 Document Checksum field.)
+| Select/Load an XML file | You can use a REQUEST or RESPONSE file. |
-Click the Store button. (The calculated checksum is stored in the CeRTNA Portal and a Checksum Key is returned and displayed in the Base64 Document Checksum Key field.)
+| Enter a Doc Seq# | This identies which Doc Seq# contained in the XML file that you wish to work with. |
-Click the Validate button. (The ChecksumKey and Checksum values displayed on the form are used to validate the locally calculated checksum value against the stored value in the database.
+| Click the Calculate button | The SHA3 checksum is calculated and displayed in the Base64 Document Checksum field. |
+| Click the Store button | The calculated checksum is stored in the CeRTNA Portal and a Checksum Key is returned and displayed in the Base64 Document Checksum Key field. |
+| Click the Validate button | The ChecksumKey and Checksum values displayed on the form are used to validate the locally calculated checksum value against the stored value in the database. |
+| Click the Reset button | This clears the form fields. |
+**Note:** The Checksum Value field is unprotected so that you can modify the checksum value manually to test the negative result of the ValidateChecksum flow.
+There are plenty of other tools available for testing web services as well. One of the tools CeRTNA works with is POSTMAN. You can download a free version of POSTMAN from the following URL: https://www.getpostman.com/apps
