Has anyone tried this yet?  I'm planning to try this after my current cert expires.

FYI - New azure code signing service that includes the certification and HSM for 10/month.  Typical EV certs cost well over 200+ year.

Works with signtool as well as anything else you would want to use.

**This applies to powerserver apps as well.

 

Set up signing integrations to use Trusted Signing | Microsoft Learn

From the Microsoft AI:

To use Trusted Signing with SignTool in Azure, follow these steps:

  1. Prerequisites:

    • Ensure you have a Trusted Signing account, identity validation, and certificate profile.
    • Assign the Trusted Signing Certificate Profile Signer role to an individual or group.
    • Use Windows 10 Version 1809/October 2018 Update or newer, Windows 11 (all versions), or Windows Server 2016 or newer.
    • Install the Trusted Signing Client Tools.

  2. Install SignTool:

    • Download and install the Windows SDK SignTool.exe (minimum version: 10.0.2261.755).
    • Install the .NET 8 Runtime.
    • Download and install the Trusted Signing dlib package.

  3. Create a JSON file:

    • Create a new JSON file (e.g., metadata.json).
    • Add the specific values for your Trusted Signing account and certificate profile to the JSON file. Example: 
      {
  "Endpoint": "<Trusted Signing account endpoint>",
  "CodeSigningAccountName": "<Trusted Signing account name>",
  "CertificateProfileName": "<Certificate profile name>",
  "CorrelationId": "<Optional CorrelationId value>"
}

  4. Invoke SignTool to sign a file:

    • Note the locations of your SDK Build Tools, the extracted Azure.CodeSigning.Dlib, and your metadata.json file.
    • Replace the placeholders in the following command with the specific values: 
      & "<Path to SDK bin folder>\x64\signtool.exe" sign /v /debug /fd SHA256 /tr "http://timestamp.acs.microsoft.com" /td SHA256 /dlib "<Path to Trusted Signing dlib bin folder>\x64\Azure.CodeSigning.Dlib.dll" /dmdf "<Path to metadata file>\metadata.json" <File to sign>

Ensure that you use the recommended Windows SDK version in the dependencies listed, as the dlib file won’t work otherwise. Trusted Signing certificates have a three-day validity, so time stamping is critical for continued successful validation of a signature beyond that period ​1​.
