ClickOnce Software Publisher Certficate

HI all,

I'm trying to create a certificate to use to sign applications which are
only deployed internally.

I installed Certificate Authority on our Win2k3 Standard OS. I can create a
code signing certificate request and issue it, but the problem is that if I
use that certificate, the Publisher for ClickOnce has my name in it, when I
need to have the name of the company as the publisher.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Andy

Hello Andy,

Take a look in the MSDN documentation. You'll find the makecert tool.

makecert -sk XYZ -n "CN=XYZ Company" testXYZ.cer

regards,
Anders Elmén

I did look at that, but it didn't procedue anything I could send to our CA
to be signed.

I did figure out how to do what I wanted; install the CA as a Standalone
instead of Enterprise CA.

Thanks though.
