What is the "identity string" of my certificate (mac + codesign utility)?

I'm gonna say this right away: I have no idea what I'm doing here. I am not a mac developer.

Here's the scenario: I have an installer (.pkg) that my boss wants me to sign. I have a certificate, issued by Thawte; which I've imported into the keychain program (and set it to be trusted for everything). In package maker, under the configuration tab, there is a label that says "Certificate", and directly next to it another that reads "not supported". Well, great.

So, codesign; says it can't sign .pkgs, but can sign .dmgs... but I have to give it an identifier string so it can pull my certificate from the keychain. But I see in no place a field called "identity" or "identifier" or anything of the like when scouring the keychain program.

I feel really dumb about this; I've been at this for a few hours, google has yielded a number of useful things, but none of them explain where I find the "identifier" string :P

Any help would be much appreciated.

The identifier is the "Common Name" from your certificate. Please refer to OS X code signing or Apple's Code Signing In Dept
