I have recently inherited a MOSS 2007 based application primarily involving an InfoPath 2007 form, currently undergoing user acceptance testing prior to its first major release.
The form allows users to sign sections with digital signatures using the standard InfoPath functionality for this. In SharePoint this involves an ActiveX control which pops up a dialog, and within this the user opens another dialog to select a certificate, followed by ticking an acceptance checkbox and clicking "sign"
Management feels that this signing process is too complex for some users to understand (especially when it comes to getting people to accept the new system)
I've been asked to look into making this easier, and my first impression is that nothing can be done. I've looked into modifying the JavaScript that calls the ActiveX, but the control is effectively a black box with no useful functionality beyond what the standard InfoPath form code calls.
Can anything be done here other than reverse engineering and recreating the ActiveX control? Is there some setting I'm missing(I doubt this one)?
Alternatively any extra ammunition for telling my bosses this cannot be done would be appreciated.
