Unable to install .sis-file with DevCert

[Besieger]

Hi, I'm very confused.
I got a developer certificate and a UID from the protected range. I sign my application with the certificate and want to install the .sis file on Nokia N71 (3rd edition sdk) but i get always the message:
"Unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier".

Can anyone help me?

I hope you have replaced new UID(Protected) at every place in your project.
- Once you are done with this, you need to rebuild your project.
- Remove existing .Sis file.
- Create .Sis file again.
- Sign it with the developer certificate you have got.
- Install it on real device.

I made all things you explained but the error exist further.

How did you make your developer certificate?

It looks like you are signing the sis file with a self generated certificate

Paul is right, it looks like you have self-signed certificate.

I just want to add a link here, http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/view_entry.html?id=93. It explains about various signing error messages on S60 3rd Edition. Hope it helps.

I download my certificate from SymbianSigned.
Then I make a key with makekeys and signed the sis file with signsis.
Is this right or must i do something else?

Hi,

First of all i hope you have gone through subsequent steps from DevCert Tool.

Once you are done with submitting .csr file on symbiansigned.com and getting back .cer file, you need to perform following steps: For e.g:

1) makesis

makesis ReadIMEI.pkg

This will generate ReadIMEI.Sis file.

2) signsis

signsis ReadIMEI.Sis ReadIMEI.Sis C:\Kiran\3rd\My.Cer C:\Kiran\3rd\My.key kiran10182

Here kiran10182 is a password.

Now install it on the device.
I hope it should work this time.

I had downloaded the .cer file and I did makesis but when I want to sign my .sis file with the command you wrote then I need a key. I generated a key like this:

makekeys -cert -dname "CN=Selectric OU=Development OR=Company CO=FI" SNSAlarm.key SNSAlarm.cer

I had downloaded the .cer file and I did makesis but when I want to sign my .sis file with the command you wrote then I need a key. I generated a key like this:

Why?

DevCertRequest tool guides you through all these steps, doesn't it?
https://www.symbiansigned.com/DevCer..._2006_v2.0.exe

You need to give/create "private key" in the 2nd step of DevCertRequest tool.
Also you need to give "password" over there. This will create .key file.

Finally when you sign your .sis with your Developer Certificate( .csr ) file,
you need to give this key and passwords as some of the parameters.

signsis ReadIMEI.Sis ReadIMEI.Sis C:\Kiran\3rd\My.Cer C:\Kiran\3rd\My.key kiran10182

I think I overwrote the key. Now I made the certification with my .csr-file again and the key was created.
But it still doesn`t work. At signing I get the failure:

Could not verify signature with known algorithm, exiting.
verification failure, invalid signature.

I wrote the right password like you told me. Have you an idea, why I can`t sign?

Thanks for your great help Kiran

Create a complete new Developer Certificate.
Step-1 : Give different path for .csr. e.g: C:\MyDev\MyCsr.csr

Step-2 :-ACS Publisher ID available: NO ( I guess in your case)
-Provide key name/path. e.g: C:\MyDev\MyKey.key
-Give simple password. e.g: 123456

Step-3 : Fill personal information

Step-4 :- Provide IMEI number on which you are going to install .Sis file.
- Add necessary capabilties as per your application's requirement.

Stpe-5 : Finish.

Now you will have MyCsr.csr and MyKey.key in the C:\MyDev\

- Go to www.symbiansigned.com . Login to your account.
- Under My Symbian Signed->Developer Certificates ->Request -> ...Browse your MyCsr.csr file. -> Send. (Do not forget to write security code displayed in image above)
-> Download the MyCsr.cer and save it in C:\MyDev

Finally perform:
1) makesis

makesis YrApp.pkg

This will generate YrApp.Sis file.

2) signsis

signsis YrApp.Sis YrApp.Sis C:\MyDev\MyCsr.Cer C:\MyDev\MyKey.key 123456

Here 123456 is a password.

- Install this developer certificate signed application on your device.
