I've been assigned the task of buying a digital certificate for my company to sign our code. We develop applications in the Microsoft space - mostly WPF or Web Based. I've investigated options and found Comodo to be well priced and responsive, and we're ready to go ahead and purchase a cert through them.. however in the signup form ther...
I have an exe file that I should like to sign so that Windows will not warn the end user about an app from an "unknown publisher". I am not a Windows developer, the app in question is a screensaver app generated from an app that generates screensaver apps. As such I have no influence on how the file is generated. I've already found out ...
Hi. I'm in the phase of implementing the server-to-server communication part of a XMPP Server. I'm testing my implementation with Gmail.com and Jabber.org but both seem to use the dialback protocol. Does anyone know more information about this protocol related to this servers? The protocol seems to be separated in several federation t...
I'd like to automate importing cert(s) on a Windows CE device. Pushing the certs down to the devices is not a problem, but once they are there I cannot determine how to import them without using the UI. (I'm currently using Avalanche Mobility Center) ...
I'm writing a windows service that needs serveral certificates in the certificate store in order to connect to a third party web service. On my installer I call a small application (C#) that creates a user to run the service as. Works fine. I now need to install about 10 certificates (don't ask!) into the users certificate store but c...
I am considering purchasing a code signing certificate from VeriSign or Thawte to sign an XBAP with. My question is this: What happens when that certificate expires? $299 and $599 are pretty hefty prices for 1-year/2-year cerificates, and if I have to deliver a newly signed build to my customers whenever my certificate expires, then I'll...
Trying to make a web service call to an HTTPS endpoint in my Silverlight application results in this error: "Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding WSHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]" The same problem as was posted here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/...
I’ve got an issue with loading a particular X509 certificate within an ASP.NET application (i.e. not through IIS for https). I’ve loaded it into my ‘Personal’ and ‘Trusted Root’ stores on my local machine (through the MMC snap in) but can’t load it from either store. It seems the NETWORK SERVICE account doesn’t have permissions to read/...
Pretty much what the question says. What's the difference between the two classes of roots? The differences between the certificates signed by such roots? What uses would a class 1 signed certificate have that a class 3 doesn't, and vice versa? ...
Hi there! Does any of you have a clue how to alter the contents of Security.framework/TrustStore.sqlite3. It seems as if the iphone uses it to store trusted CA certificates. I really want my iPod touch to trust my custom certificate. Beside that, does anyone of you know an app (win32) to edit sqlite3 database files (except sqliteman, th...
I'm trying to setup a hierarchical PKI. Can I create a truststore containing only the root ca certificate, and will that mean my application trusts certificates signed by a sub-ca certificate which is in turn signed by the root ca? As an aside, it seems that you must provide an entire certificate chain, including the root ca certificate...
Not a programming question per se, but interesting for people who do commercial web development. How do you track all of your clients' hosting, domain registration, and SSL certificate expiry dates? Do you just keep a spreadsheet or is there some useful piece of software for this? I've searched extensively and can't find a usable piec...
Using the Java URL class, I can connect to an external HTTPS server (such as our production site), but using a local URL I get "SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target". How do I get a valid certification path? EDIT: I'm not using this URL to directly create a connection, I am passing th...
A while ago, I set up my company's local (non-internet) client database on my domain server, using Apache and PHP/MySQL. I recently decided to set it up to use an SSL connection rather than a standard HTTP connection. (I know, I should have from the beginning, but that's another matter). I've set up my server and my certificate success...
We have an e-commerce site that uses certificates from Thawte, we had our certficate renewed in October. If you access https-pages from IE6 you get a warning that the certificate has expired, if you look at the expiration date it's actually the old certificate. Now, this doesn't happen at all when accessing the page from IE7. This happe...
Can someone tell me how can I extract a public keu in .pem format from a .cer file ? I'm trying to configure webservice over https with nusoap. Tks, ED ...

When creating the app store distribution certificate in the certificate assistant, do I enter my name in the Common Name field, or the company name? This page says, "In the Common Name field enter your Company/Organization/Department name" while the add certificate area of the portal it says "In the Common Name field, enter your name" ...
I posted days ago about access control to web service (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/390853/access-control-to-web-service). In short, I have an ASP.NET web service deployed on //service/webservice and I want my ASP.NET web application (app1) on the //web1 to access the web service with certificate authentication. I keep getting Syst...
Is it possible to convert a .pfx (Personal Information Exchange) file to a .cer (Security Certificate) file? Unless I'm mistaken, isn't a .cer somehow embedded inside a .pfx? I'd like some way to extract it, if possible. ...
