Digitally sign a form template

If you digitally sign a form template with a trusted root certificate, you can set the security level for the form template to Full Trust, which means the form can access files and settings on the user's computer or on a different domain. In addition, you can deploy and update that form template by sending it and updated versions of it to others by using an e-mail program.

1. In design mode, click Form Options on the Tools menu.
2. In the Form Options dialog box, click the Security tab.
3. Under Form Signing, select the Sign this form check box.
4. Click Select Certificate.
5. In the Select Certificate dialog box, click the certificate that you want to digitally sign the form with.

   Note  If a certificate is not trusted on a user's computer, Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 displays a security message and requires the user to enable trust for the certificate issuer before the user can open the form.

Note  The information in this topic may not apply if you are working with a form designed using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 without the service pack installed. Learn more
