Not according to apple documentation. btw our agent is properly code signed.
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2083/_index.htmlPre-Login Trust Issues If, in Mac OS X 10.5 and later, you see a message like that shown in Listing 9 you might mistakenly think that the solution is to get the system to 'trust' your application, perhaps via code signing. Listing 9 Pre-Login Trust Message Untrusted apps are not allowed to connect to or launch Window Server before login. However, this isn't the case (r. 5544764 <rdar://problem/5544764>) . This message is really telling you is that you're trying to connect to the window server from the wrong context. You see this message if you try to connect to the global window server service from outside of the pre-login context before the user has logged in; typically this means that you're trying to use the window server from a daemon.
