    Default Sectigo Suck ! fka Comodo

    I've had to get a code signing certificate in my personal name because
    they can't validate my dba.

    Same name for 20+ years.

    Called the US number and you get someone in India. Impossible to
    understand and had NO clue how to resolve the issue.

    Also, they REQUIRE using IE - IE !

    I just switched to a personal certificate as well for the same reason.

    I talked to a rep and had no problems communicating with them. They were
    quite helpful in getting things resolved after a website glitch during the
    order process had not provided them with all the info they need.

    > Also, they REQUIRE using IE - IE !

    That's true.

    I used IE in a Windows 10 VM. However the last time I loaded it I noticed
    that MS was saying even there that IE was definitely going away.

    I'm not sure what the answer will be but I am sure that MS will come up
    with something.

    Right now IE is the only browser that can interact with the certificate
    store on your PC so that is why it is used.

    But since code signing is here to stay I am sure that MS will provide a new
    tool and all certificate issuers will have to revise their sites and
    methods to use it.

    I know this doesn't help but DeveloperPLUS is a dba and I got mine. I
    submitted a trouble ticket and attached copies of my business licenses
    from the city, county and state. It took longer than the previous cert
    but not too long.

    What is a dba? You mean a DUNS record?

    A dba means "doing business as"

    In Lee's example it expands to:

    "Lee White doing business as DeveloperPLUS"

    Often used in cases where the individual is doing business under a business
    name, but on the back end is a sole proprietor instead of a registered
    business or a corporation. Also in cases where a registered company wants
    to do business as another name.

    Here is a link to the SBA (U.S. Small Business Administration) definition
    for it:

    Thanks Charles - I was wondering if it would affect us. You never know
    with these things.

    Thanks very much for the translation. 8-)

    Around where I am, dba means Database Administrator...

    Context, Carl!

    I remember spending a month on Saipan and wondering why the buildings
    all said NMI (non-maskable interrupt).
    Apparently the silly people there thought that it meant Northern
    Mariana Islands...

    No context outside of the US I am afraid. Seems to be an American thing.

    Yeah, that's true...

    But it goes along with another saying:

    "Define your terms before you use them."

    This is not a Security-Only forum, us normal people are here, too. 8-)
