Comodo Hell

[NewsArchive]

Just to let you know that I am now going thru Comodo Hell.
Got everything in order EXCEPT, they want a Phone bill, but they don't
accept VOIP.
I use Vonage exclusively. You would need to be stupid to use and pay for
a land line
from Verizon or AT&T these days... I am going to give them another 24
hours to sort
this out and get with the 21st century, and then cancel my order for a
certificate.
I've gone this long without one, so a few more years won't hurt.
Just venting......

Yup, it's an extreme PITA. I think they accepted my power bill or
bank account, or something like that. And then it was something else,
etc. It took 3 or 4 back and forths to get it sorted.

There are plans to not allow unsigned applications to run on Win8.

But I can assure you, this is not only with Comodo. All WebTrust companies
(agencies) follow the very same validation process (which is a nightmare).
This is not "their" validation process. And even Lindersoft (as a Comodo
partner) has to go through the very same process. We had to send all kind
of documentation.

BTW, and we had the same trouble with VeriSign (we needed a VeriSign
certificate and they never accepted our documents). So in the end, we were
unable to take part in the Windows Logo program because we did not receive
the certificate.

So the only advice I can give in this situation is to always be nice to them
and send whatever they want <g>. Otherwise, they will not issue the
certificate!!! I know of three companies who lost quite a few $$,$$$
because the WebTrust "agency" did not issue the required certificate and
they were unable to ship the software for months.

BTW, the major WebTrust agencies issue 500 certificates per hour, so they do
not care at all. And from my experiences, Comodo is the most nice WebTrust
on earth (no joke)!

I can vouch for the Verisign "problem" Fredrich had <vbg>

I can also advice to always go to the extends they ask as it IS WELL
worth it

For "anecdotal" info : when I needed my verisign certificate to be
Microsoft verified I had to ask (and he very nicely obliged) a US
friend to have his address confirmed by a "lawer" of sort special sort
so as to compell to "standards"
(if I remember well his company was not listed in the yellow pages or

I was a bit put off by the MS Logo program. Verisign is the only cert they
accept, as if no other trusted agent is good enough. My program passed their
initial exam (including the install <g>). Seems $99 is a bit steep to get a
certificate you plan on using only once.

Have to agree there. I actually had little issue getting my cert. I think it
took me 2 days. I'm just so glad I decided to go for the 3 year option as I do
not want to go through that every year.

I'm hoping that when I renew, there won't be that same issue where you can only
get the file via XP.

It took me 2 days (but I missed one of their calls on the first day).

This guy made it in under 8 hours.

Good to know. So does not matter now which OS we use to get the certificate?

It does and it doesn't.

Using Vista, I had to download the certificate to the "store" on the
machine, then export it to a pfx file.

One extra step, but not too onerous and I was curious to see how it would
work.

When I have time, I'll update that PDF I did for Friedrich with some screen

XP Pro in a Virtualbox VM (with the SATA Driver enabled in XP and with
hardware virtualization on the host) running on a Win7/64 host with plenty
of memory runs just as fast as it does without the VM.

Likewise I run Win7/64 as a guest OS in Virtualbox - same speed as the
host.

The key to success is PLENTY of RAM on the host OS ( 8 GB is not enough for
more than one VM running at a time IMHO ) and hardware virtualization
enabled.

I don't run anything on the host OS except F-Secure and Acronis.

I do all other work in VMs (even the Windows 7 stuff).

That way when it comes to replacing a hard drive or updating to a new
machine, it is just a FDISK/FORMAT/Install the host OS and Virtualbox and
then copy back my VM image backups (or just restore from Acronis) and I am
DONE.

Nothing to reinstall, nothing to reconfigure, nothing lost - especially a
week of my time.

Free?

Yes, for the XP version that's supplied with Win7.

Beyond that, read your Microsoft licenses....

for example

My point being that some virtualization software is free, some isn't.

But you also need to think of the licenses for each client machine you

So... you have licenses for the software you run in VMs.

Which means the process is "free" for you because you already have licenses
and don't need to purchase anything additional.

Someone with Win7 home premium, for example, is not entitled to a "free"
license to run XP in a VM.

Guess to me "free" means something that doesn't need to be paid for...
rather than something that's already been paid for.

You have to activate XP when it is installed to the VM.

So it is no different than installing it on physical hardware - you need a
license to make it go.

Virtualbox is free, well supported and if you install the Intel SATA
Manager into XP, it will allow you to run the SATA driver in Virtualbox.
That makes all the difference in the world on performance.

Thanks Lee - fortunately that's a while off for me, my dev machine runs

- may well be that I go the VM route eventually.

I had the same experience 3 years ago, and with this knowledge last
year I had all documents prepared (you need to ask for a new

It includes instruction for HOW to obtain signtool.exe and another

Dan,

What browser did you use to order?

- and have you entered a Comodo support ticket so they can walk you through
collecting the certificate - in the past, I have found support to be
helpful, regardless of mistakes made -

and, as painful as it is (you're not alone - many have been upset with the
process), you ordered a 3 year certificate - so once you get it, and
working, you can take some relief in the matter - it's GOOD for 3 years!

Dan,

Sorry about your ordering troubles...

Even the "experts" have trouble from time to time - trying to get through
the process - AFTER diligently studying all suggestions and documention
from helpful sources - but here's a few more hints:

Have you submitted a Comodo support ticket? I have found them extremely
helpful in the past (mostly MY mistakes)

If you ordered it through a browser, such as FireFox - here is the Comodo
support page with instructions on how to export your certificate to a PFX
file (of course, you must use the same computer it ordered from
originally):

https://support.comodo.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=419&nav=0,96

Then, use your PFX file with Signtool.exe

I have several help topics in the CHM version of this blog (free download)
that should help as well.

Jane Fleming includes a LOT of valuable information in the Learning
SetupBuilder CHM - Code-Signing section as well.

Dan, I had the same problem.
For details, find the thread "Code Signing - pkcs12"

In summary, I was able to import the P12 file into IE, and then export a
PFX.

Try that and see if it will work for you.

There is no difference between a .PFX and .P12. Both are PKCS #12 files
(Personal Information Exchange Syntax). Both file extensions (.pfx and .p12)
refer to files that contain PCKS #12 content.

I bought a cell phone in the company name few years ago ONLY to be able to
verify it for the certificate. It's a huge PITA. Never the same person
that responds to you twice. Buy as many years as you can!

Best regards,

I can at least mark this down as an experience I won't soon forget and
one that
will leave a bad taste for a while. <g>

But at least, you received your code-signing certificate. I know quite a
few people who were not "accepted" (by Comodo, VeriSign, etc.).

That's why I always suggest to request a 3-year certificate. You don't want
to go through these hassles each year <g>.

Here's a good one for you. Comodo is trying to have us resell their
anti-virus.. so my biz partner put it on his machine.... and guess what, it
flagged our software... which, is signed by Comodo.

Some food for thought (and possibly sympathy for Comodo, tough as that
might be!)

Most browser vendors "fixed" it and Microsoft provide a hotfix now.

But for quite a few people it's already too late and government got full
access to their (e.g. Gmail) email communication.

And GlobalSign decided to temporarily cease issuance of all certificates:
