Quickconnect - Browser dangerous application warning

  • 1.  Quickconnect - Browser dangerous application warning

    Posted Jun 30, 2014 11:55 PM

    Hi All,

     

    I've noticed in a number of browser flag the quickconnect download as a dangerous file as it's not commonly downloaded. 

     

    Is there any way this can be avoided (either through app signing or similar) to allow for browsers to pass this without warning?

     

    Feedback from some of my clients has suggested this doesn't go down well with the users and puts some people off using the app .

    does a code signing certificate have to be internal or self signed or can a public web server cert be used to sign an application?

     

    I'm guessing that the usage parameters wouldn't be right to do this?

     

    What do most people do here?

     

    Can you insert a link to the root self signed certificate to be displayed on the Quickconnect page so the user is prompted to install this before quickconnect (similar to IOS experience)?

     

    Thanks

    Scott

    A code signing cert is a special certificate that you have to order. Using one signed by your organization may still lead to user confusion since the CA most likely won't be trusted.
