Application Code Signing (wodCrypt)

by Maverick5, Saturday, July 30, 2005, 01:44 (6817 days ago)

Can we create .cer files to sign code with ?
I'm working in access 2003 and every time the user opens the database
they get a window that says macro virus warning,
can we create the certificates using wodCrypt for this purpose ?

not sure if this is right

Thanks
Mav

Not wodCrypt, but wodCertificate that is shipped with wodCrypt (and few other components). You should use it's GenerateKey and Generate methods to create private key and the certificate.

But how are you going to apply them and sing MDB, it's up to you.

Mav,

not sure what to write since this is just line of code :) Ok, call

wodCert.GenerateKey
wodCert.SaveKey (filename)
wodCert.Generate
wodCert.Save (filename)

and that's it. Prior to calling Generate you should populate some properties, such as Subject, DateFrom, DateTo, etc..
