Hi,i try to sign a powershell script, to run it with ExecutionMode 'AllSigned'. I have a Commercial code-signing certificate available, which is used by several.NET Developer in my Company.Now i have done the following steps to sign a Powershell file with the certificate:$cert = Get-PfxCertificate -FilePath '$($PSScriptRoot)mycert.pfx'$result = Set-AuthenticodeSignature -Certificate $cert -FilePath '$TargetDir$File'When i ran a script that was signed on this way, i got the message 'File XYZ is published by 'CN=ABC.,C=DE' and is not trusted on your System'.This is reporducable on every Windows 10 System. The certificate is valid and comes from VeriSign-Symantec and a test with'Test-Certificate $cert'results true. What can i do to sign the files with a commercial certificate, so that Powershell scripts can run without any question on a Windows 10 SystemThanksDave. I think you misunderstand how a certificate works. You or your customers must choose to 'trust' you certificate. This is done by installing the certificate on the machine were it is to be trusted or installed as an enterprise friendlycertificate.
The certificate itself must also be derived from a known CA.Adding a signature alone is not enough. The signature must be derived from a 'trusted' certificate.We can install Microsoft software because Microsoft has installed their certificates in out certificate store.
When we install software we are often installing a certificate from the software vendor.We can also install software that is signed and derived from a known trusted CA. If you are generating a cert from an enterprise CA then it will not be trusted by your customers by default. They must have a trust path that their cert chain recognizes.In other words they will have to trust your CA to trust your cert.A cert has a chain of trust but the user must have a way to trust the same chain of trust. The machine you are tryig to run the signed code on must also recognize the 'commercial' CA that provided the certificate.(ツ)/. Hi,sorry for the delay and thanks again for the multiple answers. The screenshot is from a Windows 10 (Enterprise) machine.I got the PFX file from our Build-Maschine Administrator.
This Certificate is used to sign all our other Software we ship to our customer.I understood that i didn't have to distribute a certificate to my customers Clients. That's the reason why i use a Commercial bought certificate. I don't want to distribute this certificate, i want that the root certificate is checked by powershell. Howcan i check, that the chain is not broken?An additional Information: When i Import the certificate to 'trusted Publishers' everything is working fine.
Is it possible that powershell i just looking for a trusted certificate in 'Trusted Publisher'?RegardsDave.
I did a bit of checking around on this and couldn't find a clean way to provide the password programmatically. I suspect it is meant to be this way for security reasons. Either that or the PowerShell development team just blew it by not including a Credential parameter for this cmdlet. The only other option I can think of is to use someting like SendKeys to send the individual password character key presses to the PowerShell console at the right time via a background job (blech - just threw up in my mouth a little).:-).
