#21848 new defect
Enrolling of custom Secure Boot keys generated by Linux fails.
| Reported by: | rvgamer06 | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | EFI | Version: | VirtualBox-7.0.10 |
| Keywords: | secure boot custom | Cc: | |
| Guest type: | Linux | Host type: | Windows |
Description
Even following precisely this guide:https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/UEFI_Secure_Boot, i could not enroll the keys correctly because the enrollment either fails silently(i.e. looks like it succeeded, but when i open the "Delete Signature/KEK" menu it shows nothing.), or it says that the format is unsupported.

Hi rvgamer06,
I don't have much knowledge about Alpine Linux. Since you did not attach VBox.log, I presume VM has Secure Boot enabled which is a prerequisite. Normal way to enroll key from inside a guest is to use
mokutiltool. If not available, you can also enroll keys from the host side (when VM is powered off) usingVBoxManage. Please refer to the following command:If you provide more context, I probably could help you with answering questions on how to setup guest in this case.
