Authenticode Signing Going To Prevent The UAC Logon Request?
Oct 26, 2009
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?

Where can I get a free code signing certificate for signing my applications? Ascertia used to give them out for free but apparently they don't anymore.

I am wanting to create a logon similar to the Windows Live logon, so in other words. user has frmLogon and is located in Australia. The user enters his/her details and then the program connects to a server in the United States and checks the Username and Password to make sure it is correct if it is correct it allows the user to logon and move to the next stage, if it is wrong it will give him an error message. I am wondering if anyone has a tutorial or source code laying around that I can rip apart and see how it works. I want to put the database on my server and connect to it from my desktop using the logon form.

I have been trying to get a test 'developer use' authenticode certificate working on our server. We dont really want to pay for one until we have tested internally so we are using a test cert generated by tech-pro. So far i have:
- Installed certificate services sucessfully.
- Created a test certificate using tech-pro codesign.
- used signtool.exe wizard to sign the application.
- imported the test certifcate as a server root certificate.
All appears to have gone ok and without error but when i run the exe on a virtual VISTA machine logged onto the domain the program still prompts for the administrator to logon to elevate its priviliges. Is there another step im missing that requires me to specifically register the certificate directly on the virtual machine too? Or something else i need to do on the server to make that certificate valid for our domain?

I have recently started using Request("key") instead of Request.QueryString("key") to access my querystring values. However I have read that:
'Gets the specified object from the System.Web.HttpRequest.Cookies, System.Web.HttpRequest.Form, System.Web.HttpRequest.QueryString, System.Web.HttpRequest.ServerVariables'
Therefore, if I have a querystring key and cookie key which are the same, which value is returned?

I 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.?

I 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).

I 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)..

"Error 2 An error occurred while signing: Key not valid for use in specified state." I found this solution on the internet but I have no idea how to do it."Delete all data sources in the Server Explorer and add them again. Run the wizard again."

when I try to publish a program it gives signing error like this:
Quote:
Error2An error occurred while signing: Failed to sign binReleaseapp.publish\setup.exe. SignTool Error: Signtool requires CAPICOM version 2.1.0.1 or higher. Please copy the latest version of CAPICOM.dll into the directory that contains SignTool.exe. If CAPICOM.dll exists, you may not have proper permissions to install CAPICOM.Liquid Transfer
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.

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.

The .NET security model throws security errors whenever a .NET exe is run from a file share. The error does not appear when ran from a local drive. Does anyone know of a way around this without requiring the code to be signed?

I 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

My Request.Form keys are all prefixed with ctl00$container name$ and then the key I want.How can I get the regular key name working?
Visual example from the immediate window:I want to use:
? request.Form.Item("stationIdea")
but it won't work because the key is:
ctl00$content_innovation_body$stationIdea
as retrieved by
? request.Form.Keys("4")
so only this works:
? request.Form("ctl00$content_innovation_body$stationIdea")

This might seem obvious but I was doing some research and I was wondering if a service application start an executable. I know an .exe cannot start without some sort of logon but I was wondering if it was possible to work around this by having my service call it.

I'm working on upgrading a solution in VB.NET that is heavily based on Active Directory. As of now, I'm trying to add a PC restriction to a new AD User upon user creation. Essentially, I need to update the Logon To attribute to include 1 or more PCs, how do I go about doing this? I learned that I am interested in the IADsUser property "LoginWorkstations" url...). As of now, I have code that can fetch this attribute from any AD user, but I cannot set it. [code]I've tried testing this approach with a different attribute and it works just fine. Not much out there on Google either unfortunately.

I need to logon to a NAS Drive to query directory listings. All users will be logging into a domain. The NAS also has security set up on it with a different username password.
I will have a handful of users (maybe 10 - each logging into the same domain, but from different pc's) that will need to access a NAS Drive to query a directory structure. All will have physical access, and can connect via windows explorer (manually entering a user and pass).
During my first attempt via my app - I get the error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" Which is good cause I only want a handful of users logging on to this drive. If I logon to the drive via Windows Explorer and then go back to the app and it works.
So what I did was create a multi form app.
- At launch the parent form loads (as well as a logon window within that form). The logon window auto fills a text box with a username. That is pulled from the current logged on user - or can be replaced. I would like each user to then enter a password -> send that to the NAS for authentication -> then either open the app (mentioned above) or give some kind of a message box saying they now have connectivity to the drive.
