Using Signing Certificates with Software Packages

When creating packages, you have the option to sign the package with a software signing certificate.

Signing a package ensures that package is from an authorized source and has not been altered since it was

published before it are installed on your machines.

About Signing Certificates and Installing Software Packages

Signing packages is an optional function; however, signing software packages is commonly part of the

best practice for proper network security. If you are unfamiliar with certificates, you should have a

network administrator who is familiar with certificate management assign you one with a private key.

You can publish unsigned packages to repositories, but this is not recommended.

If you are familiar with certificates, and decide to sign packages, you must be able to meet the following

prerequisites in order to sign and install packages:

The signing certificate must be a trusted certificate.

The signing certificate has a private key.

The user signing the packages has access to the signing certificate's private key when signing a package.

Access can be to the Certificate Store containing the certificate, an exported .pfx file of the certificate, or

an exported .pvk file of the certificate.

The public key of the signing certificate you used to sign a package is available on all the machines on

which you are installing packages.

Using a certificate with an expiration time will require you to generate and publish revised packages after

the certificate expires. If the certificate passes the expiration time, the packages must be individually edited

to point to a different and valid certificate, or new packages must be created.

Sign Packages with Certificates

You have the option to use a certificate to sign the packages you create. For more information about

certificates, see "About Signing Certificates and Installing Software Packages" on page 33.
