Deploying Trusted Signed Form

[Lee]

Hi All,

I would like to deploy a fully trusted form using a digital signature.

Can anyone tell me what digital certificate is required to do this? Will
the low cost personal ID ones work or do I need to use a code signing one or
something else?

Thanks

Lee

Ok that made sense.

I have actually generated a certificate on my machine and then got the
client machine to trust it by installing it on the client machine which
worked as well.

But what about this, we are having people digitally sign these forms as
approved, etc, etc. So what happens if we use a certificate from Verisign
and then it expires after a year, so we renew it and then republish the
form. Well now that will invalidate all the existing client signed forms
cause the template changed.

Should we use an MSI maybe because then there is no certificate to expire?

Also does anyone know what happens to an infopath form when digital signs on
it that clients sign it with expire?

Thanks
