Tip: See the Code Signing section of the preferences (Edit > Preferences, Code Signing) to configure default values when creating new projects.
Tip: If you want full control over the how the application is code signed, you can leave all fields blank except for Tool location, and specify all options in the Other arguments field. When "SignTool.exe" is the selected tool, AutoPlay Media Studio automatically passes the option "sign".
If checked, the application will be code signed during the build process using the settings below. See Authenticode Code Signing for more information.
The tool you want to use to digitally sign the application. Choose from:
Use SignTool.exe to digitally sign the application executable. This tool could not be distributed, but is available in the \Bin folder of the Platform Software Development Kit (SDK). For more information, see MSDN: SignTool (Windows).
Use SignCode.exe to digitally sign the application executable. This tool could not be distributed, and only ships with the .NET Framework SDK version 1.0 and 1.1. For more information, see MSDN: File Signing Tool (Signcode.exe).
The full path and filename of the chosen code signing tool on your system (SignTool.exe or SignCode.exe). You can click the Browse button to select the file.
The full path and filename of the certificate to use when signing the application. If SignTool.exe is selected, this file must be a "Personal Information Exchange" file (*.PFX). If SignCode.exe is selected, this file must be a "Software Publisher Certificate" file (*.SPC). You can click the Browse button to select the file.
Tip: If your .PFX file is password protected, you must pass its value in the Other arguments field using the /p option. For example: /p "mypassword". For more information, see MSDN: SignTool (Windows).
The full path and filename of the "Private Key" file (*.pvk) to use for signing. This file is only used when SignCode.exe is the selected tool. You can click the Browse button to select the file.
The URL of a timestamp DLL on the Web such as: http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll. If you do not want to timestamp the application, leave this field blank.
The description of the signed content.
A URL that provides further information about the signed content.
Any additional options you would like to pass to the code signing tool. If you leave any of the above fields blank (except for tool location), you can pass their values as command line options. AutoPlay Media Studio automatically passes the "sign" argument when "SignTool.exe" is the selected tool.
