Code Signing Certificate for use by a Team
Hi AllI'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I want to generate a code signing certificate that a team of guys writing some PowerShell scripts can use to sign the scripts. I have figured out how to issue code signing certificates to individuals, but am not sure how to create a certificate that can be used by the whole team. I'd like to sign the scripts with a common certificate and not have us each signing the scripts individually.I have and enterprise PKI (Microsoft Certificate Services) installed in the infrastructure and want to use a certificate that is issued by this infrastructure. I know how to solve the above problem if I use makecert.exe and generate certificates, and I know how to get them published via group policy to client machines, but it seems to me that instead of working outside of the enterprise PKI, I should use it.Any advice or direction appreciated. Thanks.

Many thanks Brian. This looks exactly like a process that could work for my situation. Two questions:1) I don't know much about smart cards. Are they something I can buy just a handful off for this purpose and are there any key technical specs I should be aware of for a card that is suitable for storing certificates on? I like the idea of using a smart card for our situation, that would work well. A quick Internet search comes up with a daunting list of options.2) Can you point me towards any guidance on creating a custom template (I'll jump in to some search engines and see what I can find also).Thanks.James.

Hi Brian this certificate is only for one code or it can be using with different code also? Manish
