    Cross Domain Access without Digital Signatures

    I have an Infopath form that uses Managed code.
    I have published it in SharePoint in a single domain.The workflow works fine.
    Now I need to implement this across other domains.
    So when a user in another domain in my organization access the form in SharePoint,he/she should be able to open without any security issues.

    I dont want to use Digital signatures.
    The only other option is to use the RegForm tool.Am I right??
    If I am right,then how do I use this Regform tool on my Infopath project?
    I have used RegForm before on a normal template i.e .xsn file.
    But now there is no .xsn file as such in the project.All the files like myschema.xsd,template.xml are separately present within the project.

    So plzz let me know whether I am doing the right thing by..
    1)First publish the Infopath form(design view created on running my project) to a local folder in my machine.
    2)Use RegForm to create the msi.
    3)Send the msi to all the users across the other domains.
    4)Once they install it in their machine,they will be able to access the Infopath form from SharePoint from another domain.

    This is the idea I have regarding RegForm tool.Plzz let me know if I am right.
    Also I dont want to use Digital signatures as they are expensive.
    So how to achieve cross domain access????

    Hi,

    You form needs to be fully trusted.

    Hi Franck
    Still not clear about the steps involved.
    If I do not want to use Digital signatures,
    can I use the Regform tool instead to make my form fully trusted?
    I know how to use the Regform tool.
    But in case of cross domain access,Is it sufficient for me to install the form in a machine located in a different domain and then will the form open properly from a SharePoint library in case of cross domain access.
    Just want to know the steps involved.
    regards,

    To enable full trust go to Tools > Options > check "Allow fully trusted forms to have access to files and settings on my computer".

    About using regform:
    yes this will enable you to use fully trusted forms as if they were signed. Be aware though of a few caveats: you need to install it on the users PC's (MSI file) either manually or via AD / bootscripts. It is possible to publish it in a SharePoint dir, but it takes a hack or two.

    See my posting on regform.exe here:

    Couple of articles i would reccomend you to read giving you the basics on signing forms:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ipsdk/html/ipsdkSignedFormTemplate_HV01120501.asp

    about the sharepoint hack:
