   <signer>John Smith, jsmith@acme.org</signer>

The setting of the signer option varies, depending on the signing engine used:

Table 2. signature engine parameters for the signer option
signing Engine	signer Setting
Generic RSA	common name, e-mail
CryptoAPI	common name, e-mail
Netscape	common name, e-mail
Entrust	signer's login identity
CIC	signer's name as entered during signing ceremony
Clickwrap	ACCEPTED
HMAC Clickwrap	the value of the answer indicated by the HMACsigner tag in the signformat option Note that if the HMACsigner tag includes more than one answer, they are combined in a comma delimited list. For example, "answer1, answer2".

The signer option is automatically generated by the signature button when the user signs the form. It is added to both the signature button code and the signature code. No manual coding is required.
