I can sign a document from code with NotesDocument.Sign method, but that doesn’t extend to signing embedded objects (e.g. if the user picks a Word document for my code to embed in a rich-text field, from the back-end, that object remains unsigned and can’t be opened unless your ECL allows -No Signature- access to external programs).
Given that the Notes client silently signs an embedded object that’s been embedded in the front-end, is there any way of doing this from code? From a security point of view it’s still the user carrying out both actions, so you’d think it should be possible.
(I guess you could argue that if something’s being added by code, the user hasn’t seen it and can’t vouch for it, but it would be easy to write something nasty in VBA that looks fine the first time they open a Word document but does something bad the second time, so I’m not sure the argument holds.)
Thanks.
Toby.
