hi.

Publishing. This is the process for saving the template to a directory or a sharepoint library. This is the template used to create instances of the form for users.

Registering. When using managed code wihtin infopath forms there are varying levels of security. For example, managed code which modifies the file system must be fully trusted for security reasons. Therefore forms that require full trust must be published in one of two ways.
1. Registering of the form on the users machine. This process informs the infopath process it can trust this form to perform fully trusted code execution.
2. Digital signatures. By digitally signing a form which requires full trust, the infopath process knows this form is signed and as such allows the execution of fully trusted managed code. Note this then allows fully trusted forms to be stored in a central location and not have to be registered on each users machine.

Installing. This is the automation of the above processes through an installer package. i.e. MSI.

Hope this helps, please feel free to ask any questions.
Cheers. Scott.

Dear scott,
could you clarify what exactly happens, when such processes as "publishing", "registering" and "installing" of the form are done?
What are the implications of not performing these processes?
Thanks.

Hi,

Giving a form Full trust would require you to register the form on the user's machine. I assume you would do the registration in your installation package.
When digitally signing a form, the form does not need to be registered on each user's machine.

Yes it is!

It's just make me to open the form (in desgin mood) on the client organization and to change all directing before i publish it. I can't change it on my machine and make MSI file becuase my machine will not find "MyClientServer".
It's a littel work.
Thank you any way!

Sorry pressed submit.

So what i was asking was whether you have any control over the deployment / installation of the InfoPath forms?

When you install the version in your own company - make sure the manifest refers to the MyServer.

When you install the version in your client company - make sure the manifest refers to the MyClientServer.

Make any sense? Cheers. Scott.

Hi. I understand your problem. You are deploying the same form to your company and a client company. Each company has a different server name. Therefore using localhost allows you to deploy the same version to both yourself and the client.

Sorry Scoot I didnt understand your answer! did you understand my problem?? am I right?

When I open the form in design mood I can cahnge the dataconnection propertys. when i change the location on the web service (of any dataconnection), the the manifest update automatic (to the update Web service URL).

Hi. Do you have a formal deployment method for your client? Could the manifest be modified at this point? Or is the client part of your organisation - so you can ask for a specific server configuration?
cheers. Scott.

I will explain to you my reason!

When I design the form for the client I work on it ofcours on my organzation server (server name is "MyServer"). Now... When I want to check it I sign it on my local machin and publish it the server ("MySrever"). The WebService of this form also located on this server (in the Inetpub\wwwroot), That's why I use directing ofhttp://localhost/WSname/service.asmx !
But!!! My Client organization has its own server (Let's calle it "ClientServer") So..If I will install the form on the client server as it is it will not work (dont recognize "MyServer") But if I will use "localhost" defenision and I will install the form in "ClinServer" and located the WebService on this form also in "ClientServer" (in the Inetpub\wwwroot) It will work!!!
So, If I will use the server name in the directing to the WebService instead of "localhost" I will need to open the form in desgin mood(and it's .NET code) IN THE CLIENT SERVER and change manual all the Dataconnections of the form and the WebReference (in the code) to the specific name of the client's server (cahnge from "http://MyServer.." to "http://ClientServer..")!!!
And I want to avoid this action.
Do you have solution? That's why I need to use "localhost" and I was thinking that if the template of the form (hold the code) located on server so the directing of localhost will search it on the server and not on each user machin!!!
What can I do?

Hi.

In your manifest there is a <xsf:dataObjects> section. this details all the form DataConnection information.
for a webservice you will see
<xsf:query><xsf:webServiceAdapter wsdlUrl="http://localhost/WebServices/TaskPane.asmx?WSDL" ...
change this to your fully qualified path. e.g.
<xsf:query><xsf:webServiceAdapter wsdlUrl="http://MyServer/WebServices/TaskPane.asmx?WSDL" ...

i am curious of your special reason for having to use localhost?

cheers. Scott.

Hi Scott! can you be more specific? Do you mean that I should change line in the manifest file? How to do this.
I will add and explain that :
1) My form contain Data Connections to the Web service
2) My Form code is a .NET project (C#) that contain Web Reference to the Web service

So I have 2 types of access to the web service. I know that I can replace (in both types)http://localhost/WSname/service.asmx
withhttp://MyServer/WSname/service.asmx but I have spacial reason for using "localhost" definision. What can I do???

Hi. Can you confirm that the DataConnection element within your manifest contains the correct URL for the webservice webreference i.e. the server. Cheers. Scott.

O.K! now it's a new problem!

My form's code has refernces to a Web service. The directing to the web service is done by:http://localhost/WSname/service.asmx (because the code's form was wrriten in the same machin/server as the Web service located).
Now.... after I sign the form, I published it to
\\MyServer\InfoPathForms. I located the Web service in "MyServer" too (to keep on directing of "localhost"). But...when user client try to open instance of the form from the template which settled on \\MyServer\InfoPathForms
there is an error - the reason for this is: The template code settled on the server ("MyServer") BUT it serach the webservice in localahost (client station) and not on the server, which mean that I need to put the webservice in the Inetpub/wwwroot of each station (and I dont want to do this)
If the form's code work from the server so why it's not refere to web service which in the server too???

How to solve it?

I am not sure what you are saying? Is it;
"Can i sign the form on my local machine several times and publish to different servers each time?"
If the above is correct, then YES.

Cheers. Scott.

Hi Lior.

OK what design mode do you use. i have done a test and if the design mode is Visual Studio the security checkbox will be unchecked OR if design mode is InfoPath the checkbox remains checked.

cheers. Scott.
