I didn't know to store the id in xml file.
since 10.3 you can store the key id's in the signature-handling section of an add-on http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/CreateProfile.Software.html
As I learned I have to put the public keys into initial initrd which is used during boot to prevent installer error messages about unknown signed packages.
No, it's not a must that the key is in the initrd but if it's in the initrd it will be accepted automatically always and everything signed by that key is valid automatically. http://www.suse.de/~ug/AutoYaST_FAQ.html#bB
The idea is to retrieve the public key which signed our addon product from somewhere (web) during pre installation and present it somehow the installer. Such I don't have to put it into the initrd.
Will this work or did I miss something.
you can put them on the installation source instead of into the initrd but then you have to accept the key in the XML file. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
