Digitally signing an AIR file

This worked beautifully

I followed all the instructions and generated all the certificates but after i generated the P12 file, Command Prompt is asking me to Enter Export Password: What does this mean?

Hello,

this documentation page at the "Changing certificates" section says:

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************

In some circumstances, you must change the certificate you use to sign updates for your AIR application. Such circumstances include:

1. Renewing the original signing certificate.

2. Upgrading from a self-signed certificate to a certificate issued by a certification authority

3. Changing from a self-signed certificate that is about to expire to another

4. Changing from one commercial certificate to another, for example, when your corporate identity changes

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************

What about "Downgrading from a certificate issued by a certification authority to a self-signed certificate" please ? e.g: the opposite of the second circumstance listed in this part of the documentation.

Considering that we respect the 180 days limit after certificate's expiration date:

• Is it possible to move from certificate issued by a trusted CA to a self-signed certificate ?

• And then move back from the self-signed certificate to a new certificate issued by the same trusted CA as the old one ?

I ask about this because :

• Our application's certificate issued by Thawte has expired for 30 days.

• Thawte can't provide us a new certificate before the 180 days limit is reached.

So we consider to move from the expired Thawte certificate to a self-singed one. And then move back from the self-signed certificate to the new Thawte certificate which they will give us in the future.

Since we have a big amount of users, we'd like to be sure that this will work and everybody will be able to update the application without any troubles related to the "old expired Thawte certifcate => self-signed certificate => new Thawte certificate" migration.

Thanks for your help
