Digitial Signature for vbscript?

[willwong]

Hi,

Before I can deploy my custom form on the network there are concerns about
enabling vbscript to let it run.

The system admin have decided it be best to create a certificate to be on
the safe side. I have noticed there is digital signing for VBA code in the
editor but does that same certificate cover vbscript?

Or is there even a certificate available to cover vbscript?

Thanks!

Will

No, there is no digital signing for VBScript or custom forms.

Oh dear...that could cause problems. What is available in the way of
safeguarding against malicious code being run then?

Code runs only on published forms, only folder owners can publish to folders' forms libraries, and only those who have permission from the admins can publish to the Organizational Forms library. Since the code is uncompiled, it can be inspected for malicious functionality before publishing.
