how can I create a certificate for signing a ClickOnce manifest. At [URL] I have read that makecert is only for testing purposes. So what shall I use to get an certificate?
View 1 RepliesMy application is small, I intend to use the installer that comes with VS 2008 Prof.Edition, or ClickOnce.I'm wondering which is better, I need to include a copy of the .NET framework 2.0 in a package, and have it installed simply, and also be easy to uninstall.

If this is related to the Security Certificates stored by XP, then I'm in trouble as they are GONE. Must I start a new project and rebuild this whole app?

Code Snippet
I have an application that was deployed almost a year ago using clickonce. My Test certificate is about to expire. Seemed to have read somewhere that the problem was fixed in VS 2008. Can someone confirm and tell me if there is something I have to do to keep my users up and running? Also, if I make changes to the application and redeploy after the expire date, is there anything I need to do? I don't know anything about certificates just that I had to create one to use ClickOnce.
View 1 RepliesI requested a Code Signing Certificate from my own domain Certification Authority on my Windows 2008 R2 domain controller.
When trying to publish my code to my webserver via Clickonce, it throws "an error occurred while signing: Invalid provider type specified"
In order to get the certificate I duplicated the Code Signing template on my CA, and tried both options available:
1) must use Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider
2) use any provider available locally
algorithm is RSA, key minim size 2048, Hash SHA1, alternative format unchecked
Where is the location of ClickOnce Installation and what are the restrictions of ClickOnce Deployment?

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
Does anyone know of a way to create a demo disc (CD) of a Visual Basic ClickOnce application? I used to be able to download the exe file and run it. I'd like to show my work via a disc rather than create a file to install on a users' computer.
View 2 RepliesTrying to publish a click once type app to a local directory and create a websetup with the published contents- so that i can give tat setup to install in two different servers. but as the publishing wizard takes a URL - separate setup is required for each server. Is there any way that i can create a single setup which i can use it in two servers..?
View 1 RepliesI see tool like SN which generates private/public key pair for signing an assembly. And using AL tool we can assign a strong name to an assembly. And we have also Sign tool which is used for signing the assembly (probably for using with certificates exclusively?). What is the exact difference between the two?. Is it sign tool have to be used when working with certificates and can it we acheive it SN?. or are they totally different.?
View 1 RepliesI have an app published using ClickOnce. When an app is published that way, you get a temporary certificate which expires in a year. My year will be up in a couple months, and I am considering my options.One option, which a colleague is using, is to build a more sustained certificate using makecert.exe. By doing this, I can get a certificate of arbitrary length (or so I am told, as I haven't actually followed this route, yet). The problem with this route is that MS is pretty clear that makecert is for testing purposes.
I can also see that I could go to verisign or some such and buy a certificate, but that has a significant cost (well, I'm sure my employer wouldn't be too concerned about it, but it seems pretty high to me). The program has very narrow applicabiliity and narrow appeal (it has to do with counting fish). What I am wondering is whether there is sound reason to go with a certificate that is more than what makecert will create, and what that reason is? Additionally, I'm looking for information as to whether an internal CA, such as we have, which can make a certificate, will cause me any trouble if I use it to sign a ClickOnce app that won't be used entirely internal?
I'm converting a VB6 dll to VB.Net using Visual Studio 2008 Express. I want to use the same .dll to integrate with Excel via Excel-DNA, but also to be available via COM (I need to be able to call it from VBScript and VBA).
If I leave the assembly unsigned, I have access to all of the ExcelDNA functionality but no COM access.
If I sign the assembly with a strong name, then when I try to build the .dll I get the following error:
Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'ExcelDna.Integration' does not have a strong name.What are my options?
I've got a project which I would like to sign, however I've never done it before and I'm having a bit of trouble. The problem is that one of the dll files the project references is not signed. This results in an error, stating that the project assembly cannot be signed due to an unsigned referenced assembly. I'm not the author of the problematic unsigned assembly, so I can't sign it directly from VS (or at least I don't know how).
View 3 RepliesI can encrypt/decrypt fine with a certificate that is in a PFX file because the Private Key is contained in the X509Certificate2, but if I import the certificate to my personal store and mark the private key as non-exportable I have almost no clue what to do to get the decryption done. I have narrow traces to CryptoAPI but I haven't been able to find any articles or code sample neither in VC++ nor C# (to be translated to VB.NET)..

It happens to a company computer and who knows what updates it has. It was working fine the first day I got the computer though.
We have somewhat bureaucratic way of making new users to our system. I noticed I had to write same info over and over again to different places (such as AD and our databases). So I desided to make a little application that inserts the info to all the right places with one click. Now I can create new user with one form and push of a button except the client certificate. For that I must login to our certserv and fill in a form.
Is there an easy way to make client sertificate request to the certserv so that it would give me the certificate automatically? I tried to google about it and got some info about the system.security.cryptography, but got stuck before getting any near of requesting new certificate.
I have developed an active x control and signed it with certificate. I know that digital signing is needed , so that the browser knows that the active x comes valid source.My asp.net form has a button , which invokes a method on activex control as -[code]....
But it errors on browser stating that the - IE has blocked this site from using an active x control in an unsafe manner. ( Please see attachment).So should I have to develop the active x control which implement IObjectSafety and also signed digitally, so that it can execute on client browser without any warnings from IE. Any examples.
Hi guys, we have an application which requires elevation to admin rights on VISTA/Windows 7 machine because it provides an ActiveX interface. We can't at present get around this requirement. With a manifest file and on a VISTA machine we get the UAC administrator prompt 'An unidentified program wants access to your computer' and logon request. Disabling UAC is not an option with our clients. I believe that authenticode signing the EXE will at least make the program trusted and thus remove the logon request. But I believe we will still be left with a grey prompt that asks something like 'Did you run this program, do you want to continue' - is this correct? Is there any way of getting rid of the prompts completely?

How can protect my library with certificate?
I mean, My project is library based. So one very important dll should be under my control. I have to create a certificate for this dll. this certificate will be date wise. with expiry date. to run that project, the user must run the certificate.
how can i control it.
I am loading a certificate from string like this:
public static void Test()
{
byte[] arrayCertificate;
[Code]....
But this certificate doesn't have a "Subject Unique Identifier" Take a look at this:
[URL] (The part of Structure of a certificate)
And I want to know how can I read that value from my .NET code (I looked that I can get SerialNumber, Thumbprints and others but there is no Subject UID anywhere).
If anyone can share an openssl command to include this UID for the certificate :-) (pfx one)
Using Visual Studio, how can I find out if a certificate from MY store has the property Encrypting File System selected?
