Defining an application as signed

With your private key, a public key, and a public-key certificate, you can digitally sign an application.

Ensure that you have your private key, public key, and public-key certificate

Use the following procedure to digitally sign an application:

  1. Open the Generate dialog of the WebClient Application Assembler. For more information on this dialog, see Files generated by the WebClient Application Assembler.
  2. Click Security.
  3. In the Digital signature for generated files section, select one the following options:
    • From registry: Select if the digital signature information resides in the registry.
    • From file: Select if the digital signature information resides in a certificate file, and you have a separate private key file.
    • From PFX File: Select if the digital signature information resides in a PFX file.
  4. Enter the path for the signing tools in the Path To Signtool.exe.
    If you have set the environment variables OpenEdge populates the path in this field. You can also change the pre-populated value.

    When you define an application as signed and you generate the application, the Application Assembler adds a copy of your public-key certificate to each cabinet file and digitally signs them.
