Dear Advanced Installer Support Team,
Your Auto Updater service reported a problem for us about a certificate mismatch while we tried to install the latest version of our product. Indeed, we changed the digital signature of our package, the Subject part was also slightly changed.
After a short research we found your user guide about this topic:
https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... dates.html
Our problem is the following: only the company name (CN) part of the Subject is a fixed value, but the rest (Location L, State S, Country C) parts will change several times in the future. Our digital signature provider will create the certificate file so the Subject string will be changing.
Our goals:
1. Due to security reasons we still would like to use your digital signature comparison feature (Updater -> Install only digitally signed ... checkbox).
2. We´d like to customize your feature somehow to check only the company name (CN) part of the Subject. That´s the bit which will stay the same for a longer term.
Unfortunately the idea written below "Migrating to a new certificate" section of your user guide is something we can´t really use, because many of our customers are just skipping some of our update packs - some of them are skipping 5-10 update packs (minor and major packages). So creating an "intermediate" version of our product and forcing all of our customers to install that version is not an option. The best would be if we could somehow customize your updater service and define which parts of the signature should be checked.
Thanks in advance for your answer!
Best regards,
Zsolt
