I am trying to launch an application on a remote mac using the apple script below. But it seems it will only work with signed applications. Is there anyway to get this to work with unsigned applications, in particular Apple Scripts saved as apps?
set remoteMachine to "eppc://user:password@computer"
tell application "Finder" of machine remoteMachine
open ("/Applications/textedit.app" as POSIX file as alias)
end tell
end tell
Thanks.

I don't know, specifically, but this is almost certainly implemented as a security measure to ensure that only known, developer-signed apps can be launched like this. The possibility for abuse to arbitrarily launch any process is just too great.
If the target app is your own, then you can probably sign it and publish it as a regular application, which may overcome the problem.
Could setting "remote apple events" help?
I have set this already, the problem is specifically unsigned apps.
Thanks
