Hi, This is a note I sent to the x2go-dev list before I managed to find and follow the steps to get myself added to the list. From some back-and-forth with the moderator, it appears that x2go already has a detached signature, but our IT department told me that doesn't work, they need the signature to be embedded in the installer. I gather that the expense of a trusted CA-issued certificate is out of your budget, but it sounded like our IT department would be ok with a self-signed certificate (not ideal but it sounded like that would satisfy the signing requirement). Would it be possible to issue the current Windows release in an internally signed format?
====================================================================
Sometimes, like here, in the corporate world there are restrictions on what software is allowed to be used, and in Dell's case one restriction is that an installer package needs to be digitally signed to verify that the installer we use is in fact the genuine article. Unfortunately the MS Windows installer at http://code.x2go.org/releases/X2GoClient_latest_mswin32-setup.exe does not appear to be digitally signed, so they won't let us use it.
Would it be possible to create and publish a Windows installer that is digitally signed by the x2go organization? It's a very useful tool for our environment where most of our work is done on systems remote from our desktops, and is better performing and more capable than any alternative we've found, especially over WAN links.
Thanks for considering our request,
