Hi all,
I am working on an application (and
applet) that needs to be signed (not just self-signed). I am looking at using GoDaddy.
Unlike most things in
Java world, with code signing it does not seem to be easy to
test things without putting out the cash first. So, I would like to ask some quick questions.
[1] for java signing, I imagine you can use any computer to sign the code (ie it does not need to be signed on the computer that is the webserver). Correct?
[2] Is there any relationship between the computer I use to sign the code and the signed code itself. For example, lets say I buy a code signing cert from godaddy, but then I change my development computer. Can I still use that same cert on a different comptuer, or is it somehow "linked" to the computer that is used? In other words, if my dev machine crashes, will I need to buy a new cert from GoDaddy (or wherever).
[3] Has anyone used GoDaddy for code signing. Are there any gotchas?
[4] I assume that once a code is properly signed, it should work on any platform with a proper JVM... correct?
Anyway, just thought I would ask these questions before I put out the cash with GoDaddy.
Thanks,
-Adam
