    problem with CA and digital certificate

    Hi all,
    I have a form template digitally signed to make it full trust. I have requested the certificate from our comporate CA.

    One my user from another country cannot accept the certificate becouse in the security alert there's the following message:
    "
    The publisher has not been authenticated and therefore could be imitated. Do not trust the credential.
    [...]
    "
    and the checkbox is disabled. In his country, there's not Active direcory yet. Here's my question: can I make the CA I used trusted in that country?Is this due to AD missing?What can i do to solve the problem?

    Thank u!

    Hi Tatopitta,

    Good question! You can buy a code-signing certificate from a third party - like Verisign - and use that anywhere connected to the Internet (and anywhere that trusts Verisign! :)). The downside is that they are expensive. I think ~$500 for a code-signing certificate.

    If you are using CA that is installed on your server, however, it will likely require domain trust. If you're target user is not part of a domain that trusts the domain where your CA is running, it won't work. It may also be tough to set up the domains to trust one another.

    Good luck!
