Hello Obay,

Thank you for your interest in PowerShell automation support.

Please see the example below:

Code: Select all

$advinst = New-Object -ComObject AdvancedInstaller
$project = $advinst.LoadProject("D:\PS support\sample.aip")

$project.DigitalSignature.EnableSigning() = 1
$project.Save()

This example enables the Enable signing option on the Digital Signature page. The "$project.DigitalSignature.EnableSigning() = 0" will uncheck the option.

The below command sets the option to "Use file from disk":

Code: Select all

$project.DigitalSignature.SetUseFileFromDisk("D:\mycertificate.pfx")

You can see all supported fields as you type in the PowerShell interface:

Thank you for the reply Liviu.

We are using a Yubikey which doesn't work with a PFX file. What is the approach in this case?

Hello Obay,

As far as we know when you have a YubiKey certificate it should be available in the Personal Store of Current User. You should be able to use the SetUseFromPersonalCertificate method.

Please see the example below:

Code: Select all

$advinst = New-Object -ComObject AdvancedInstaller
$project = $advinst.LoadProject("D:\sample.aip")

$CertificatesList = $project.DigitalSignature.Certificates

foreach ($element in $CertificatesList) {
  if (($element.Thumbprint -eq "8c5a55d94c9d4d6f8b0e8f4644768f00bf65dd2c") -and ($element.Store -eq "User\MY"))
  {
  $certificate = $element

  $certificate
  }
}

$project.DigitalSignature.SetUseFromPersonalCertificate($certificate)
$project.Save()

Replace the Thumbprint with your certificate Thumbprint. The certificate is identified by Thumbprint in this case, but can use any other property of the IDigitalCertificate object.

• String Name
  Gets the name of the certificate.
• String Issuer
  Gets the issuer of the certificate.
• String Subject
  Gets certificate subject.
• String Thumbprint
  Gets certificate thumbprint.
• String DateBegin
  Gets the first date of the valid period.
• String DateEnd
  Gets the last date of the valid period.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Liviu
