RE: Certificate Services//InfoPath Form

Bummer. NOBODY here has ever run into this before? I guess I'm blazing a
path. Nuttin' like feeling all alone. :)

Thanks anyway,
John

I have created a SharePoint 3.0 site for a company's intranet on a Windows
Server 2003 server. There is a document library with a custom workflow that
uses an InfoPath 2007 form for collecting data that is submitted to a
database.

There is some very simple custom code inside the InfoPath form that executes
on the client computers. Evidently, I HAVE to install Certificate Services
on the server and issue a digial certificate for this form for each client
computer in order for this form to run. I know next to nothing about
Certificate Services.

I want to make this as unobtrusive as possible. From the limited research
I've done, it LOOKS like I just need to install a Standalone Certificate
Authority and use that to issue digital certificates for the form.

Does this sound correct to anyone here? Are there any other considerations?
This is for a very small company (there will be about 13 users of this
site/InfoPath form) - they are running Windows Small Business Server 2003.

I'm just looking for guidance, or confirmation that I'm on the right path.

Need any more info? Let me know.

Thank you,
John
