I am finally going to have to break down and purchase a code signing certificate for my compiled MSP macros. I am just curious if anyone has any insight or "best practices" before I do this. I have never done this before and thought it may be best to reach out to experts before I "Learn the hard way" on what I should and shouldn't do.
Thanks,
Garry

Re: Code Signing
Yes I do it using self signed certificate. Then add them to my compiled exe files using powershell.
Re: Code Signing
From what I understand a self-signed would work fine in a domain environment, but I have enough clients where I have random compiled scripts would that work for random workgroups as well?

Re: Code Signing
Ok, then they would need to add the certificate to their respective environment which isn't ideal if you compile for arbitrary customers. Your next option is to have a third party signing which cost money...

Re: Code Signing
Thank you. That is what I thought and that is why I am looking at purchasing a code signing certificate. Since I have never done that before I was looking for any insight before I do. Such as any reason to get an OV instead of a PV, who would be a recommended provider, etc. . . . Anything else I need to be aware of before I start the process.
