Using PowerBuilder code signing options

PowerBuilder has integrated code signing directly into the project compilation process. After you specify a code signing tool (such as Microsoft's SignTool) and a digital certificate in the PowerServer project painter, your application executable (appname.exe) will be signed automatically after it is generated and before it is deployed to the server. This section provides detailed instructions for how to prepare the environment (including installing Microsoft's SignTool) and how to configure the PowerServer project painter to sign the executable.

Note

You can also export these signing options to the build JSON file and automate the process using PBAutoBuild tool (the command-line build tool for PowerBuilder).
