Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

QNAP released firmware update 4.5.1.1480 on 08 NOV 2020 and Asset UPnP works. No issues with digital signature or something else.

Same for me but there is an exclamation mark to show no digital signature.

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

Same on a TS-453A.
Downgraded to keep clear from any problems with the latest QTS.
It's clear that QNAP only wants signed apps on their platform, Apple-like.
If so, it should give developers further info for the right signing method.
A few upgrades ago, a lot went wrong with certifications too. Even their own.
Hopefully, there will be an update soon to resolve the matter...

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

As already mentioned above, the problem is addressed in firmware QTS-4.5.1.1465 build 20201024, just verified on my own NAS.

Still waiting for any meaningful response regarding getting digital signature, I've been told to contact qnapclub.eu but they're not responding at all.

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

In addition to Peter's method of accessing the Asset config page it is now possible to create a shortcut link on your QNAP's login page so that you can access the app's page without actually having to login. To set this up access your QNAP's App Centre and from the "Open" option menu choose "Display On > Every user's main menu and as an App shortcut on the login screen".

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

Problem is now sorted in the latest 4.5.1.1465 update. Asset is still shown as having no digital signature but can be opened as normal.

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

Issue seems to be fixed now. QNAP have released today update QTS 4.5.1.1465 build 20201024 that contains among others the following fix "After a system update to QTS 4.5.1, users could not run applications that lacked digital signatures."

I just installed the update and Asset works, so not need to unsintall and reinstall. The app is shown with a little orange exclamation mark in the app center, saying it has no digital signature. But apart from that, no issues and the app works. It can also be opened directly from the app center.

Hi all, QNAP released today update QTS 4.5.1.1465 build 20201024 that among others contains a fix "After a system update to QTS 4.5.1, users could not run applications that lacked digital signatures."

I just installed it and Asset continues to work at it should. No need to deinstall and reinstall again, and the app is not blocked either. There is a little orange exclamation mark next to it saying "no digital signature", but that's it. You can open Asset directly from the App Center. Just tried everything out and it works.

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

Is there a reason Asset has no digital signature? It does not seem to cost anything according to QNAP (asked them today via the Helpdesk). This would make Asset visible in the QNAP App Store as a serious alternative to other music streaming apps. And avoid that users are becoming frustrated with having to uninstall and reinstall. I mean, why not simply get this digital signature?

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

@PeterP, Is there a reason Asset does actually not have a digital signature? I does not seem to cost anything, at least according to QNAP. This would make Asset more visible as a serious alternative to other music streaming apps QNAP has in store, and reduce frustration with users that have to uninstall and reinstall.

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

Hi all, I confirm - despite Asset UPnP being listed with an orange exclamation mark and the only option "Remove" next to it, the app works. Note however that with the firmware update of last week-end, I had to unistall Asset and reinstall it again, and it would then show up as a normal app in the app center. With the firmware update of 20 October (4.5.1.1461), even after reinstalling it, the app is listed as "Remove" but works.

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

The new firmware does nothing to actually stop unsigned code from running, all it does is annoying people with making apps (that are actually running!) appear disabled.

Yes you can install, it will be running automaticall.y.

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

Quoting QNAP support email-


I'm still asking them if they can provide us with a code signing key to prevent this in the future, so far I've not been able to find any info about how to obtain such key.

Hi PeterP,
it's a long time I wasn't in this forum, I guess speaking to you is like speaking to Spoon, right?

I was in the process to change my HDD to a SSD in the Qnap TS-253D and reinstall everything, but now I'm not sure I can do it with latest firmware 4.5.1.1461 and keep Asset running.
Actually with upgraded firmware and Asset already installed I get only the warning in app center, but in main menu Asset icon is present and it works as usual.

After reading this thread it's not clear if Asset could install and run in a fresh new Qnap build with latest firmware.
I've read a couple of solutions like using Qmanager app or using web browser link http://NAS-IP:45537/, but still it's not clear if those solutions are related to a fresh install of a Qnap NAS and latest firmware.
Could you clarify this?
Thanks!

Re: Qnap 4.5.1 No digital signature

QNAP have just released firmware 4.5.1.1461 build 20201020.

Unfortunately, this does not resolve the issue but listed among the "Known Issues" is:

"After a system update to QTS 4.5.1, users cannot run applications that lack digital signatures."

At least QNAP have acknowledged this as an issue which suggests that hopefully they might do something about it.

Needless to say I haven't updated my NAS to this latest firmware.
