I'm trying new install of Proxmox 7.3. I've downloaded and burned the iso image on usb using rufus. But, when it tries to boot i get grub error: "prohibited by secure boot policy" (see image). Anyone experience this? Thanks in advance for any feedback to fix issue.
 
Hi, yes I believe Secure Boot is enabled. Just been reading up on secure boot. I read its a useful feature to keep enable. Any info as to why Proxmox don't support it? Is there any work around to install proxmox having it enabled?
 
I have read the below comments via thread below and noted Proxmox don't support secure boot yet. Comment was since July/2019. Wondering when they will support this feature? Not fully sure of the pros & cons disabling secure boot. I guess i will just disable for now.

We don't offer signed kernel images or Grub (yet), so there is no Secure Boot with PVE.
 
If I remeber right, it should come soon.
Someone of the staff posted a date some weeks/months ago.

Edit:
2 months ago:
The CentOS, Ubuntu or Debian ISOs are signed with Microsoft's UEFI secure boot key that's backed-in in most HW sold, the Proxmox VE ISOs (currently) are not signed with that. We plan to apply for this via the rh-shim sometime next year.
So hopefully 2023.
