Hello,
I am compiling OpenVPN and the TAP driver from source and would like the
TAP driver to be signed so that it installs correctly on Vista (and
doesn't pop-up warning dialog boxes). I noticed that the configure
scripts attempt to do that if "signtool" is defined. Is there any way
that I could sign the TAP driver?
I think for most people, signing drivers themselves would be more pain
than it's worth. You have to get a special certificate from Verisign
that costs ~$450/year. You have to get the full WDK toolchain from
Microsoft.
I have thought about using the prebuilt TAP driver (from
openvpn.net/prebuilt/ <http://openvpn.net/prebuilt/>) but the prebuilt
binaries lag behind the current version and I need the TAP driver to be
the most recent one possible.
The TAP driver in http://openvpn.net/prebuilt/ is based on rc22 which is
identical to the driver that was just released with 1.2.0.
