    Default Comodo signing... waiting

    So, I renewed my comodo certificate.. logged in, told it to renew my
    certificate... paid for it, got the receipt.

    Now I show the order# in my management area as well as my old
    certificate. The new order says Awaiting Validation. Not sure what that
    means... do I have to do something? or do I just wait?

    TIA

    did you already contact them and sent your documentation?

    See this (page 6 pp):

    Ok, got my .pfx file.. do I need the .pvk or .spc files? I'm missing
    that part in the instructions.. also, it didn't ask me for a second
    password when I exported it from IE. Only the one I made up, not the one
    for the order. In Janes instructions there were 2 screens that asked for
    the password.

    Will that be a problem? I'm thinking I didn't click on the 'High
    Security' radial when I ordered it.


    Thanks,

    Ray

    Got my certificate.. have a PFX file. I used openssl to create the .pvk,
    ..pem, and .spc files... using the instructions at:

    https://support.comodo.com/index.php...le/View/548/7/


    I changed the global signing area in setupbuilder for the new .pfx file,
    entered my password that I used to export the pfx. I used
    http://timestamp.comodoca.com for both timeservers, and checked the
    Global SHA-1 and SHA-2 dual.

    That failed with an error signing GEN1053: Code signing process failed.
    Error Code 1.

    I changed it to Globabl SHA-2 only and it signed. So dual signing is not
    working.

    Currently I'm only signing the install because my files had already been
    signed... I can fix that later, just wanted to test the setup.exe
    first..didn't know if that makes a difference.


    TIA

    Please see this:

    http://www.lindersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?47199

    You need your .pfx and a specific Windows version (8.x or better Win10) and
    SignTool build to support dual code-signing. Quite a few Windows 7 systems
    do not support dual code-signing (you need a very specific patch level in
    Win7).

    Does this help?

    I had been doing dual code signing before I updated my certificate. I
    never used the global code sign in SB before, always used it per app. So
    I only changed the certificate (I got SHA2 when I purchased it), and I
    tried using the global code signing part of SB. Do I need to make a
    Certificate Profile in the options area?

    So, I told it not to use the global code signing.. use local
    code-signing from project.

    Went to my 'General Information/Digital Signature' and put in my new
    spc,pvk,pfx and password.. and it dual signed my install just fine.

    I can just go through and change the signing manually.. so at least I
    know my certificate works. There's either a problem with the global
    options or I'm missing something.

    Okay.

    New .spc and .pvk? You should only use .pfx! .spc and .pvk is a thing from
    the past <g>.

    There is no issue with the global options. Just add your .pfx and the
    password, select the correct SHA-1 and SHA-2 timestamp servers and select
    the "Global SHA-1 & SHA-2 dual" option.

    Ok then.. that was a lot of work to build the .spc and .pvk files. Oh
    well, needed to exercise my brain.

    In the global code signing options I selected
    http://timestamp.globalsign.com/?signature=sha2
    for both the sha-1 and the sha-2 timestamp server and it worked... that
    must have been it.

    Thanks for your help. Code signing was really a lot easier this year. I
    wonder what it will be like in 2020?

    Comodo will send you your DNA test kit via snail mail so you can prove who
    you are before they issue the certificate.

    Then the certificate itself will require a surgical implant for a mere $20K
    (60% of which goes to Microsoft for making the OS require it and then 20%
    to Comodo for acting as a facilitator.

    Friedrich will get an "atta-boy!" for acting as a go-between.


    Of course Dan will go in for the implant and end up coming home from the
    hospital with a missing body part or two!
