[ipxe-devel] autoexec.ipxe and UEFI secure boot ?

Hi all,

Since https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/commit/a3f1e8fb6707811e6eb90e339d7ebe813fd89a63,
iPXE load autoexec.ipxe from filesystem allowing pretty much the same
use case as embedding configuration without the need to recompile iPXE
binary.

Now I'm wondering would it allow say RedHat to provide signed iPXE
binary (ipxe.efi)
and anyone to create a secure boot enabled iso with ipxe.efi and their
autoexec.ipxe or is this feature considered not safe to be signed ?

Best
Etienne
