#2370 Application grouping by vendor/digital signature in Application Control is not always works.
-
Rejected
For some reason, KTS creates different application groups for the apps with identical vendor/digital signature data, e.g. for Microsoft Edge KTS created MICROSOFT group, while for Microsoft Edge Update — MICROSOFT CORPORATION, please find attached screenshots.
I thought that perhaps, both application just have different digital signature credentials, but not, according to Application control data, they are identical. Such behaviour leads to a mess in Manage application view.
Reproduction steps:
- Install KTS
- Install Edge
- Run Edge
Actual result:
For Microsoft Edge KTS created MICROSOFT group, while for Microsoft Edge Update — MICROSOFT CORPORATION
Expected Result:
All Edge components should be assigned to the same application group.
This issue is an old-one issue and can be reproduced in 2020 as well (INC000011515424).
