Best Method For Deploying Trusted Forms

[Mike Morse]

Could someone make a recommendation to the best method for deploying full
trusted forms that will be used internally on a single domain. I'm under
the impression that if I use code signing certificate then they will get a
prompt each time they open the form??? This will make them very un-happy.
Is there a better method for my setup?

Thank you

With a code signing cert, they should be prompted only once, and only once
per certificated because the first time, the certificate will be always
trusted.

Alternatively, you can look in the SDK for the regform tool. This will
create and MSI which installs the solution on to a persons machine with full
trust.

I blogged on this a while back:

One thing that complicates matters here is whether or not the Certificate
Authority of the digitial certificate that you sign your form with is
default-trusted. If not, installing a certificate is even more painful, but
like Andrew says, they only need to do it once. By default, Verisign and a
few others are trusted Cert Authority in WindowsXP, so if you use one of
these, you'll only have to deal with the the first dialog (i.e. the checkbox
to trust the form will be enabled).

Signing is the *only* way to make SharePoint forms full-trust since the
regform tool removes the publishURL.

Good luck!

I thought trusted forms could not be URL based.

Just out of curiosity, why does your form need to be fully trusted?
