Something to share about infopath forms functionality using digital signatures. Everybody knows as how to customized the infopath forms,using controlls on that as well as publishing forms on document libraries. The certificate works fine when I open the form in thick client and then sign it. If I try to digitally sign the browser enabled form (with same certificate), it fails with the following error message:
one or more digital signatures in this form could not be verified.To Modify parts of the form tat have been digitally signed, removed the associated signatures. click on a signature to view its details.
OR
There is a problem with this signature.
For the certificate to work with browser enabled forms, the certificate should have a trust chain. Without a chain of authority to tell the Operating System where this certificate came from, the computer will have no way to verify the authenticity of the certificate.
Please follow this steps to resolve this issue:
