I need advice regarding how to sign a database

Dear All,

I have written a Lotusscript Notes database that is going to be distributed to my customers who are using Lotus Notes 6.5, 7 and 8.

This database contains forms, views, script librairies …

This database, when opened in Notes via “File/Open database”, opens a form with an install button. This button, when clicked, is going to copy all the design elements (forms, views and script librairies) to the user bookmark database.

I have delivered this database to beta testers and they have a lot of “Execution Security Alerts” with “Program signed by Mikaël Donini/Mikaël Donini” and “Program signed by No signature”.

I have used NotesDatabase.sign at the initialization of my default view. But if I correctly understand this method, it can’t work since this sign method will be called by the users each time they will open the database (and so, they will overload my initial signing).

Could you explain to me how to sign my database with a signature named “My Company/My Company”?

Indeed, I do not want that my customers receives alert messages neither with my name nor with “No signature”.

I have not Domino Administrator to sign databases.

I have searched a lot in the forums but found nothing.

Thanks a lot for your precious help.

Mikaël Donini, Arkadin.

Hi Mikael,

Try signing the database with the one of your live server ids - this will probably be trusted by the users and avoid the ECL messages - choose “active server id”

In fact, my users are not belonging to my company. They use their own servers and I do not know their domino architecture …

Then the best way would be to get one of their admins to sign it for you. Most companies have an agent signing id for this sort of thing
