Certificate for code signing expires soon

Hi
since several days I am getting a warning message from my OS X server telling me that the Certificate for code signing will expire soon
Certificate Expires Soon -servername.xx Signierungszertifikate für Code
The following certificate is about to expire on your server,servername.xx:
Name: servername.xx Signierungszertifikate für Code
Expiration Date: 15. Mai 2013 10:30:44 MESZ
I looked under Certificates in Server app but this certificate does not appear. It's visible only in Key Chain under System and I suppose it is one which was created automaticely when I set up the server running under Mountain Lion. How can I renew this certificate ? Thanks for help

CodeSign error: no certificate found in keychain for code signing identity

I've been wrestling with this for a week. Can someone help. I have followed the instructions closely to get my iphone app ready for distribution, but I cannot compile my app due to the following error:
CodeSign error: no certificate found in keychain for code signing identity 'iPhone Distribution: iPhone Developer (my name)
However, it definitely is there. In my Keychain I see the proper certificate. Furthermore, in the build file my Code Signing Identity -> Any iPhone OS Device is set to iPhone Distribution: (my name) but under "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" there are no valid choices. The distribution certificate is grayed out.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!

For the build error, "codesign error: code signing identity 'iphone developer' does not match any code-signing certificate in your keychain":
1) Open Keychain Access application.
2) Select the "Systems" tab under the Keychains sidebar and "certificates" under the Categories sidebar.
3) You should see the "com.apple.kerberos.kdc" and/or "com.apple.systemdefault" certificates with a red x in the icon.
4) Double click them and under the "trust" node change the "When using this certificate: " tab to Always Trust. You may need to restart Xcode for this to work.

Using Apple Mac Developer account for code signing

Has anyone been using their Apple Mac Developer account for code signing and Adobe Air desktop App?
Any hints, tips comments appreciated!

Why would I do that? I simply want to know, is the binary file I downloaded signed by with MY cert? I can determine this within reasonable doubt by answering two simple questions:
1. Is the cert that this file signed with valid (chain of trust and all that).
2. What is the name of the cert (the identity).
If the Identity is the right one (in our case, the name of our company) and it is valid, then I will trust that this binary is ours.
Maybe this will clarify my question. I guess I could rephrase this question as:
"How do I write a simple tool that will verify a file has a valid signature and will give me the signer's identity"?

No option in project info window for code signing Provising profile.

Dear Developer forum,
I have one issue wth my application regarding provisional Profile.
I have installed Distribution certificate.After that I have entered all information regarding distribution provisional profile in program portal
I have got provisional certificate from portal.I have installed it
And I have also seen its entry in home/library/mobiledevices/.
But Now problem is arising at place when I am opening my project or target info window on that time in BUild->code signing option, I have only code signing endity but no code signing provisioning profile.
where I can give my distribution provising profile name
So anybody tell me howz it come????
Thanks

Looking at this page:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/distribution/index.action
Make sure that you've done all the steps... "Generating a Certificate Signing Request", "Submitting a Certificate Signing Request for Approval", "Downloading and Installing iPhone Distribution Certificates", "Create and download your iphone distribution provisioning profile"...
When I went through this process, I think I forgot to do the step "Downloading and Installing iPhone Distribution Certificates"... (skipping straight to "create and download your iphone disbritution profile") as a result the provisioning profile name wasn't appearing for me to select... When I completed that step, then the provisioning profile name appeared...

How to generate single signature for code signing and timestamp

Hi we are developing Win 7 VC++ app using Crypto APIs.
Here code signing is done using Cryptsignhash() method, that generates the signature. Later for time stamping CryptRetriveTimestamp() method is used which also generate the time stamp signature. Thus we wanted to know
whether there is any single Crypto API available that can do code signing and timestamping together and shall generate single signature. At verification side it should be also possible to separate code signing and timestamp signatures prior to verification.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

No. Normally, you don't counter-sign the actual data - you counter-sign and time stamp your signature. You don't want to transmit the whole data (which could be a) large and b) confidential) to a third party. This is why it's a two step process.

On "Digital Signatures" the tab, select the "Microsoft Corporation" entry and click "Details"
In the "Digital Signature Details" dialog, click "View Certificate"
In the "Certificate" dialog, click "Install Certificate..."
In the "Certificate Import Wizard" dialog, select "Local Machine" (though current user might work, didn't use it, so I can not attest to it) and click "Next"
Select the "Place all certificates in the following store" option and click "Browse"
In the "Select Certificate Store" dialog, select "Trusted Publishers" and click "Ok"

Code signing cert error using Digicert - Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer

Steps to fix this error on code signing adobe air using .p12 cert from Digicert - Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer
a. Open Firefox and browse to https://www.digicert.com/digicert-root-certificates.htm
b. On the middle of the page, download -
DigiCert Assured ID Code Signing CA-1
Valid until: 10/Feb/2026
Serial #: 07:F4:73:6F:AF:EF:40:8A:1F:66:40:F2:65:D1:0A:C1
Thumbprint: B170A10819BEA936905D719E643399783E1F4567
Download
c. Install the cert in Firefox
d. Once done, export again the code signing cert from digicert, through (click Firefox -> Preferences -> View Certificates -> HIghlight the digicert code signing cert -> click Backup)
e. Done, the newly exported file should now have the valid certificate chain and that should fix the error "Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer"
Even though this is from Digicert, this should also work for other Certificate Authority providers assuming you download your provider's root cert for code signing.

Differences between SSL and Code-Signing Certificates

Hello,
I unsuccessfully tried to use a SSL - certificate for signing an applet (converting from X.509 to PKCS12 prior to signing) and learned, that SSL certificates and code-signing certificates are different things (after seeking the web for ours). Can somebody point out some source of information about this topic ? What are these differences ? Can I convert my SSL certificate into a code-signing certificate ?
Things got even more confusing for me, since my first attempt with an wrongly converted SSL cetificate (I used my public and private key for conversion only, omitting the complete chain) at least worked partly: the certificate was accepted, but marked as coming from some untrustworthy organisation. After making a correct conversion (with the complete chain) the java plugin rejected the certificate completely ...
Ulf

yep, looks like it.
keytool can be used with v3 x509 stores:
Using keytool, it is possible to display, import, and export X.509 v1, v2, and v3 certificates stored as files, and to generate new self-signed v1 certificates. For examples, see the "EXAMPLES" section of the keytool documentation ( for Solaris ) ( for Windows ).
jarsigner needs a keystore so I would assume public and private key pair.
you could list the keys from your store:
C:\temp>keytool -list -keystore serverkeys.key
Enter keystore password: storepass
Keystore type: jks
Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 2 entries
client, Jul 5, 2005, trustedCertEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 13:50:77:64:94:36:2E:18:00:4B:90:65:D0:26:22:C8
server, Jul 5, 2005, keyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 20:90:49:6F:46:BA:AB:11:75:39:9F:6F:29:1F:AB:58
The server is the private key, this can be used with jarsigner (alias option).
C:\temp>jarsigner -keystore serverkeys.key -storepass storepass -keypass keypass
-signedjar sTest.jar test.jar client
jarsigner: Certificate chain not found for: client. client must reference a val
id KeyStore key entry containing a private key and corresponding public key cert
ificate chain.
C:\temp>jarsigner -keystore serverkeys.key -storepass storepass -keypass keypass
-signedjar sTest.jar test.jar server

Replacing the Java Code Signing Certificate on the ASA 55xx VPN/Firewall Appliance

Hi,
basically I am trying to achieve what's documented in
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa80/release/notes/asarn80.html#wp242704
(using ASDM: "crypto ca import" = Remote Access VPN -> Certificate Management -> Code Signer -> Import)
I give it a complete PKCS12 bundle (unencrypted private key + certificates up to the root CA) to the ASA.
I can indeed verify that it has been imported correctly by exporting it again:
crypto ca export CodeSignerBundle pkcs12 1234
It shows me the private key and all the certificates.
However, the jars used in WebVPN, while carrying the correct certificate, don't have a full certification chain at their disposal:
Using jarsigner -verify I see on a random file from the jar:
sm       905 Fri Nov 30 00:00:00 CET 1979 Java/lang/CpUtf8.class
      X.509, CN=COMMONNAME, O=ORGANIZATION, L=LOCATION, ST=STATE, C=COUNTRY
      [certificate is valid from 8/1/13 4:30 PM to 8/1/16 4:30 PM]
      X.509, CN=LuxTrust Qualified CA, O=LuxTrust S.A., C=LU
      [certificate is valid from 6/5/08 11:25 AM to 10/18/16 12:40 PM]
      [CertPath not validated: Path does not chain with any of the trust anchors]
Indeed the certificate file inside the jar (META-INF/.....RSA) does not contain what I uploaded to the ASA. One of the intermediary certificates is missing (while another certificate is listed twice).
What could be the problem here? (ASA v8.2(5))
Thanks for any help,
Marki

It may be that a ip address pool is not assigned to the default webvpn group:

Expired Security Certificate for Flash Player 10.2.153.1 Install

When I tried to update the Flash Player to the latest release, 10.2.153.1, Adobe tried to download the latest DLM. This is normal. Windows 7 gives the the option to check the publisher's security certificate, which I always do. This time I found that the certificate for Adobe had expired on 3/16/2011. Since today is 3/21/2011, and the fix was made available today, I aborted the install. An expired certificate would be fine if the date the file was signed was in the period the certificate was valid, but there is no way to check that.
What is going on here? Has someone hacked the Adobe servers? Or is this just an "Oops" on the part of Adobe.

Hi, Since that's the latest update that just came out, I haven't had time to check that. Is the certificate for the DLM perhaps?
What about the certificate with the Flash Player you have Installed currently? What does it say?
Thanks,

SCUP 2011 for SCCM 2007 - SUP, WSUS plus MS PKI certificates (not self-signed ones)

I am installing System Center Updates Publisher 2011 for our SCCM 2007 R2 system.
Our SCCM 2007 R2 system runs in mixed mode. We have a dedicated server for SUP/WSUS and OSD/PXE functions.
Shall I install SCUP 2011 on the dedicated server? I have installed it on my Windows 7 computer. What is the best practice configuration? SCUP should be equivalent WSUS role for Microsoft Partners software updates. Am I right? In this case, I should install
SCUP on the SUP/WSUS server in my opinion.
We have used the SUP/WSUS to apply Microsoft updates without any problems so far.
When I am investigating the certificate requirement for SCUP 2011 code signing, I have found out that our SUP/WSUS server has some self-signed certificates for SMS and WSUS.
All our SCCM 2007 servers except one have self-signed SMS Encryption Certificate and
SMS Signing Certificate - those certificates are issued to
SMS by SMS. The SUP/WSUS server also has an extra self-signed certificate
WSUS Publishers Self-signed for code signing.
We do have our own Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services internal PKI service which has been trusted by our AD domain. Therefore, I would like to use an certificate from the PKI service for SCUP 2011 server such that all our SCCM 2007 clients will
trust the certificate for non Microsoft software updates.
What should I do re the self-signed SMS or WSUS certificates on the SUP/WSUS server?
I just want to add SCUP to our SCCM 2007 system without causing problems to Microsoft updates deployment via SUP/WSUS.
Thanks,
SJJ123

Personally I have used the self signed certificate and used the AD Group policy to distribute the certificate. I think it would be possible to import a certificate from your PKI into SCUP. Have you tried this?

Using code signing certificate results in classnotfoundexception

We are running a certificate authority on windows 2012. Our programming section developed a java application on linux and wanted to code sign it. They created a csr and sent it to me. I created a duplicate of the built in code signing template and used it
to create a code signing certificate, which I sent back to the programmer. He used the certificate to sign the application jar file, and everything seemed ok. But when we try running the application we get a 'classnotfoundexception' for the main class of the
program. Just to be sure it was not a fluke I wrote a small test applet and went through the same procedure of creating a csr, creating the certificate, and code signing the jar file, and ended up getting the same exact error.
The programmer tried creating a self signed certificate on linux and using that to code sign the jar file, and the program runs successfully. Of course there is a warning that the certificate is untrusted, which is why we ant to use the windows created certificate
to sign the application since the root certificate in on everyone's computer.
Is there anything special needed to be done to get the windows created certificate to successfully sign a java application?

Hi David, did you ever get it to work signing the applet with an Active Directory Certificate Services certificate?
We are exeperiencing the same issue. The odd thing is that after we get the ClassNotFoundException error, we click on the error and then click reload and then it loads fine. At this point we are probably going to try purchasing a certificate
to see if ADCS was the problem. Curious to see if you had any luck. Thanks.

How to filter list of digital certificates for signing PDF

Is it possible to change the configuration of Reader installation to filter the list of installed certificates that can be used for digitally signing documents?
The filtered list will appear when users attempt to select a certificate for digitally signing a document.
Thanks.

Hi Carla,
Unfortunately, Extended Key Usage is not one of the properties you can enforce.
The things you can set are:
appearanceFilter (i.e. enforce the use of a custom signature appearance)
certspec(i.e. the signing certificate must meet some specific criteria) <<<----- This is what you are more interested in, more below
digestMethod(i.e. enforce the use of a specific cryptographic hashing algorithm)
filter (i.e. enforce the use of a specific security handler if you want to use something other than the one built into Acrobat)
legalAttestations (i.e. enforce the reason or purpose of the certifying signature)
lockDocument (i.e. enforce any further changes to the document after the signature is applied)
mdp (i.e. the rules for changing the document applied as part of a certifying signature)
reasons (i.e. a list of one or more reasons the signer can use, as opposed to them adding their own)
shouldAddRevInfo (i.e. force the inclusion on the revocation information (CRL or OCSP response) in the PDF file)
subFilter (i.e. require the use of a specific signature format. This is very arcane)
timeStampspec (i.e. require the use of a specific time stamp server)
version (i.e the minimum version of Acrobat that can decipher the signature. the only two options are versions 6 or 8)
The second item is the certspec, and this is what I've been pointing you towards. For the sake of discussion, think of everything you can read in a certificate as an extension. The serial number is an extension, the subject is an extension, the valid from date is an extension, etc. When a certificate is created, some of these extensions are required, other optional, and you can even add in extension that are not publicly defined, and only you will know about.
Acrobat has the ability to enforce the signer to use a certificate that contains some, but not all of the known extensions. The extensions it can enforce are:
issuer (i.e. require the use of a certificate that is issued by a specific Certificate Authority)
keyUsage (i.e. require the signers certificate contain one or more of the nine possible values that can be included)
oid (i.e. require that the Certificate Policy extension contain a specific value)
subject (i.e. require that the document is signed by one specific person using one specific digital ID)
subjectDN (i.e. require that the document is signed by one specific person, but they get to choose which digital ID to use)
url (i.e. if a required digital ID is not available, where the signer can procure an acceptable digital ID)
urlType (i.e. if the user is directed to the URL, should it be a web server where they can download a digital ID or a remote signing server where the digital ID stays on the remote server)
That's it. If it's not one of these items then Acrobat cannot enforce that the item is available. Extended Key Usage is not on the list.

How do I edit the GlobalSign Root CA so that it will enable Code Signing?

I'm trying to install Thayer's Birds of North America Software, Version 5.5. The Error 1330 arose, and Thayer's website's instructions are for Internet Explorer. Error 1330 pertains to the digital certificate, according to Thayer's instructions. The instructions say to check the box for "Code Signing" under the "Enable only the following purposes" radio button. I can't find a way to edit the these properties. I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit.

I would assume that software makers is the Firefox equivalent for code signing.
Is this a problem with accessing a website or is this something else?
Can you post a link or attach a screenshot to clarify this?

Running code on iPhone: Can't select Code Signing Provisioning Profile

I've gone through all the steps to create certificates, app id's, provisions profiles etc.
But in Xcode, when I want to select the Code Signing Provisioning Profile in Info->Build, the only options available is 'Default Provisioning Profile for Code Signing'.
The profile has been added to my iPhone with Organizer and on the iPhone itself (under General->Profile), it's also listed correctly.
I feel like I'm close to the finish, but stuck right in front of it.
I'm using the latest versions of iTunes, Xcode, iPhone 2.0 etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom

Here are a few things that I did that were suggested in older threads. They may not be necessary, but they don't hurt either:
* Certificates: you need two them. One is your personal one that you [download]. The other one is the WWDR Intermediate Certificate. When I open 'Keychain Access' and click on 'Certificates', it should show those to. Your personal one should be called 'iPhone Developer: FirstName LastName'. (I assume this is ok for you, but others may find this useful.)
* App Id: different people have pointed out that you should make your App Id precise, but with not more than 3 levels. The docs suggest using '*' as only path during development, but the docs may be out of date on this one. So in my case, I have ID: ABCFDEF123.com.mycompany.appname. That's it. I've noticed that you'll only be able to have exactly 1 application on your device at the same time with this ID, but that's ok for now.
* Create your provisioning profile with all this.
I've then done this:
- quit Xcode
- delete all profiles out for ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
- copy the new one in this directory. I didn't do drag and drop because some threads indicated that this doesn't always work.
- remove previous profile from device (iPhone->Settings->General->Profiles->Delete)
- start up Xcode
- Start up Organizer
The new profile should now be visible in Organizer and be downloaded to your iPhone.
In the Info.plist, set the Bundle Identifier to com.mycompany.myapp.
In Build options:
Code Signing Identity -> 'iPhone Developer: FirstName LastName'
And now suddenly the new profile did show up.
After that it just worked.
Now some have also indicated that even if the profile doesn't show up, you can still get it to work by forcing it in (just double-click on "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" or somewhere in that neighborhood) and fill in the name. I can't confirm if that solves it because when I did so, my certificates were still incorrect...
Good luck!
