Hi Guys,
 

Love your products. 

Is there a possibility to use UEFI in a secure mode ? 
 

In the manual installation guide are these instructions:

• Browse to the USB flash device to see the newly extracted contents from your Mac or PC.
• If you need to enable UEFI boot, rename the EFI- directory to EFI
• Run the make bootable script appropriate to the OS you are using:

Is this what you were looking for?  You may have to go into your MB BIOS and set it up for UEFI booting. 

Thanks, Frank

Bios is locked with a password (unfortunately).
So what I know is that I can boot with UFI in secure mode. But I don't know how to get the Unraid boot in secure mode. 

What I get now is "Selected boot image did not authenticate" what is saying that I have to boot UEFI secure mode.  I set the flag for UFI when I make my USB drive.

Thanks for reaching out 🙂 

Unraid does not support Secure Boot, so you need to turn this off in your BIOS if you want to boot in UEFI mode.

Hi itimpi,

Thanks for your answer. 

Will Unraid Support this in the future ?

No idea I am afraid.  

 

My guess would be if Slackware (the Linux variant underlying Unraid) starts supporting it then Unraid would inherit that support.

Read here for how Ubuntu handles it, tldr: they use microsoft signed code

As I understand it, the docs you posted for slack would entail loading the keys into the UEFI firmware, since they only come preloaded with microsoft keys.
