Hi @bastiaan ,

thanks for your message.

the certificate for signing the exe is on the way. Hope that I can provide a signed App in 1 or 2 weeks

@admin That is good news.
If I get the tool working for DBeaver, I can check if this tools fulfill our requirements.

@bastiaan I am your feedback and if you have new ideas for improvement I will be happy to know about them.

Guido

Hi Guido,

Do you have any update on the signed version of the exe?

We have a license, but I cannot use the app because company policies doesn't allow to install unsigned apps.

Hi Bastiaan,

I got a certificate and I spent 20+ hours to make it work. I was not successful and was so frustrated that I stopped this idea. Maybe I will give it another try later.

Sorry, no better news right now. Do you have N++ in your company SQLinForm is avalable as plugin

Regards

Guido

Hi Guido,

That is really a pity. Is it so hard to get the certificate working? Do you use a certificate from a Certificate Authority like CA or Verisign?

We use Notepad++ quite a lot, but also Visual Studio Code and DBeaver and DataGrid. We don't want to enforce all engineers to use N++, nor want to enforce that they have to format their SQL code in N++ after doing all the work in VSCode or DBeaver.

So, it will be great if you get the certificate working.

Bastiaan

I's easy if you know how to do it. Under Windows, you need signtool.exe from Microsoft.

This will sign with a timestamp

signtool.exe sign /as /v /fd SHA512 /f "$cert" /p "$certpwd" /tr "http://timestamp.sectigo.com" /td SHA512 "myexefile.exe"
