    7 = Codesigning =

    9 == Basic process ==
     7= Codesigning requirements =

    119Getting the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff686697%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Authenticode signatures] right so that all Windows versions detect them can be quite tricky. This seems to be particularly true for kernel-mode driver packages. In practice tap-windows6 driver needs two signatures:
     
    2624* Code-signing computer should have Windows Kit 10 installed: this kit includes a version of ''Signtool.exe'' which supports appending signatures to files. The SHA2 EV code-signing certificate needs to be visible in the certificate store under ''Currentuser\My''.
    2725
    28 The actual build procedure is a bit convoluted:
     26= Signing process =
    2927
    30 1. Run ''buildtap.py'' on the build computer, using the SHA1 certificate for signing. Make sure to include the correct cross-certificate and to timestamp the signature. Creating the installer (buildtap.py -p) does not make any sense right here.
    31 1. Copy tap6.tar.gz to the signing computer
    32 1. Unpack tap6.tar.gz on the signing computer
    33 1. Copy pre-built 32-bit and 64-bit tapinstall.exe's to ''tap6/i386'' and ''tap6/amd64'', respectively
    34 1. Append signatures to ''tapinstall.exe'' and ''tap0901.cat'' files. The [https://github.com/mattock/sign-tap6/ Sign-Tap6 tool] is a convenient way to do this. Ensure you're using the correct cross-certificate and that you timestamp the signature.
    35 1. Copy the dual-signed files back to the build computer
    36 1. Copy the contents of the dual-signed tap6 directory to ''dist'' in tap-windows6 build root.
    37 1. Run ''buildtap.py'' again using the same parameters as before, but ensure you do not ''clean'' (-c) or ''build'' (-b). You should only ''package'' (-p) the dist directory into an installer.
    38 1. Copy the resulting ''installer'' to the code-signing computer, and append a signature to it using the EV SHA2 certificate. Right now, this process has not been automated, but the command-line is fairly easy to construct manually by looking at [https://github.com/mattock/sign-tap6/ Sign-Tap6.ps1].
     28The actual build/signing procedure is rather convoluted.

    40 If this process sounds complicated, it's because it is. At some point would make sense to adapt buildtap.py to add both signatures automatically, which would simplify the process dramatically. However, that would require porting buildtap.py to Windows Kit 10, which would require a non-trivial amount of work.

    42 == Useful commands ==
     32Run ''buildtap.py'' using the SHA1 certificate for signing. Make sure to include the correct cross-certificate and to timestamp the signature:
    4333
    44 === Installing certificates ===
     34{{{
     35$ python buildtap.py -b <certificate-options>
     36}}}
     37
     38'''NOTE:''' using the "-c" switch will wipe out any pre-built tapinstall.exe's in the ''tapinstall'' directory, so be careful with it.
     39
     40Copy the following files to the ''code-signing computer'':
     41
     42* tap6.tar.gz
     43* 32-bit tapinstall.exe (renamed to tapinstall32.exe)
     44* 64-bit tapinstall.exe (renamed to tapinstall64.exe)
     45
     46'''On code-signing computer'''
     47
     48Clone the [https://github.com/mattock/sign-tap6/ Sign-Tap6] repository. Copy ''tap6.tar.gz'' to the ''sign-tap6'' directory and extract it:
     49
     50{{{
     51$ tar -zxf tap6.tar.gz
     52}}}
     53
     54Move tapinstall.exe's to the ''tap6'' directory:
     55
     56{{{
     57$ mv tapinstall32.exe tap6/i386
     58$ mv tapinstall64.exe tap6/amd64
     59}}}
     60
     61Next append secondary signatures to ''tapinstall.exe'' and ''tap0901.cat'' files under ''tap6'' using [https://github.com/mattock/sign-tap6/ Sign-Tap6.ps1]. Ensure that you're using the correct cross-certificate and that you timestamp the signature.
     62
     63Now wrap the dual-signed files into a tarball (e.g. using Git Bash):
     64
     65{{{
     66$ tar -zxf tap6-dual-signed.tar.gz tap6
     67}}}
     68
     69Copy the dual-signed tarball back to the ''build computer''.
     70
     71'''On build computer'''
     72
     73Extract contents of tap6-dual-signed.tar.gz to tap-windows6 root:
     74
     75{{{
     76$ rm -rf dist tap6
     77$ tar -zxf tap6-dual-signed.tar.gz
     78$ mv tap6 dist
     79}}}
     80
     81Run ''buildtap.py'' again using the same parameters as before, but ensure that you do not ''clean'' (-c) or ''build'' (-b). You should only ''package'' (-p) the dist directory into an installer. Copy the resulting ''installer'' to the ''code-signing computer'', or sign the installer using a user-mode code-signing SHA2 certificate on the ''build computer'' itself.
     82
     83'''On code-signing computer'''
     84
     85Append a signature to the tap-windows-<versio>-<buildnum>.exe using ''Sign-Tap6.ps1''. Make sure you use the EV SHA2 certificate. Right now this process has not been automated, but the command-line is fairly easy to construct manually by looking at [https://github.com/mattock/sign-tap6/ Sign-Tap6.ps1].

    84133Sign a file using a (non-EV) certificate stored in a pfx file. Note that this process is not suitable for EV certificates, which are probably all stored in some sort of dongle and thus only visible through the Windows Certificate Store:

    120169Signatures can also be validated by looking at "File properties" of the ''tap0901.cat'' file. The publisher should show up correctly in some places (not necessarily all), there should be a timestamp counter-certificate, and an unbroken certification path should be present.
