Personal Code Signing Certificate again

[NewsArchive]

I accidentally posted this as a reply. Meant to be a new thread!

Has anyone done this?

Hi John,

that's the only information I have found (see attached). Not sure if you
have to enter your name in the Company Name field.

Thanks Friedrich. This is the same story I have been going around for two
weeks. I am reluctant to put info into other fields than where it belongs
because they (from past experience) just go into "corporate validation" and
there is no way out of that once it starts (short of cancelling).

On the other hand, most of the online documentation about CSCs doesn't even
mention the existence of Personal (or Individual) CSCs, even at Sectigo.


It looks like I will have to try the Sectigo chat line. I'll post about how
it goes.

Was Setupbuilder signed by a personal or company certificate? It just
says "Friedrich Linder".

Mine just says DeveloperPLUS and that's a dba not a corporation.

Correction. When I got my latest cert THEY changed it to DeveloperPLUS
Corporation since my D&B record had never been updated. I dissolved
the corp in 2006!!!!!

So I suppose that makes my verified cert bogus - Oops, not getting a
new one until this one expires in 2021.<g>

I filled out the form as DeveloperPLUS - Comodo changed it to reflect
D&B so it's all on them... bad, COMODO... BAD!

Thanks for clearing that up, Lee.

But I was just wondering about the SB cert.

FYI.

Well, I resorted to chat with Sectigo, and was told to open a support
ticket with Sales. Naturally after the automatic response I received on
the 26th there has been no further feedback from them (in spite making
a followup email request).

I don't see that I can do much but wait at the moment. If I find out
something you'll be the first to know.


I did get in touch with one of the Sectigo account reps, who woouldn't
help me 'cause I wanted to deal with you! 8-)



[To re-iterate the problem:
Trying to order an Individual / Personal Code Signing Certificate...
The order process gives no way to avoid entering mandatory company
details. If you enter those details then they insist you provide
validation of that company. You cannot convert to Individual CSC from
this point (I'm told).]
