Default how to request Code-signing certificate

Hi Ger,

Thanks Jake for your answer, but:
I have an internal CA running and I have enabled the code-signing
certificate template. But when I want to make a certificate I must
feed the CA with a request. I must paste a "Base-64-encoded
certificate request" at the CA request-form. How do I get this
request from Office/Excel?


I'm not really sure how you would generate the request. Maybe through the
Certificates snap-in to the MMC. Go to start | run and type mmc and hit
enter. Then add the certificates snap-in. Right-click on Personal and
select All Tasks -- Request New Certificate and go from there. Does that
work, or is that what you've already tried?

I know IIS can generate certificate requests in the format your CA is
looking for - maybe you could go that route? Sorry - I've never done
code-signing with anything besides the selfcert.exe option.
