Enabling Installation of Apps without Digital Signatures

Warning:

  • A valid digital signature ensures that an application was created by QNAP or a QNAP-trusted publisher. It also ensures that the app has not been maliciously tampered with. Installing apps without valid digital signatures may expose your NAS to security risks. QNAP shall not be held liable for any damages, data loss, or security vulnerabilities resulting from the installation and use of such apps.

  • App Center does not allow the installation of invalid apps, including apps with invalid digital signatures, apps unapproved by App Center, or from Software Store. If App Center detects the app installed is invalid, it will immediately terminate app installation and request you to remove the app.

  1. Open App Center.
  2. Click on the toolbar.

    The Settings window appears.

  3. Go to General.
  4. Select Allow installation and execution of applications without a digital signature.
    Important:

    App Center does not allow the installation of apps with tampered digital signatures even when this setting is enabled.

  5. Click Apply.
