Hello,

how are you signing your .xsn files?

I am fairly new, so I follow this procedure:

      Tools, Form Options, Security and Trust

I check "Sign this form template" and, if necessary, "Create Certificate".

This procedure works but must be repeated for each computer to which I install my .xsn with a .msi.

 

QUESTION:  instead of the above procedure, can I use a standard SSL certificate to sign the .xsn templates?

(Standard certificates can be purchased for as little as about $20 ... there are special certificates called "code signing" certificates BUT I'm guessing that "code signing" certificates are quite expensive.)

 

Thank you.

Regards,
Gerry (Lowry)

You are on the right path and following right process for SSL, as it works properly as of now. But The SSL Cert is bound to the actual host name. If you have an SSL cert for "qa.example.com", it won't work on your machine named "dev.example.com".
