Flash fails to create the timestamp

Hello, I use Adobe Flash CS6 Pro to create AIR presentations and when I try to build an AIR application,

Flash fails to create the timestamp for the self-signed certificate and shows an error

"There was an error connecting to the timestamp server. You might not have a connection to the network, or the server itself may have a problem".

When I do little research I was found that server which is responsible for this is offline.

Is there any way to redirect Flash CS6 to different server for timestamp?

like:

http://timestamp.entrust.net/TSS/JavaHttpTS

http://tsa.starfieldtech.com/

http://timestamp.comodoca.com/

http://time.certum.pl/

best regards

Correct answer Orien

One more test with english Flash Pro CS6 installed.

Here can you read it in you language.

Hi,

after endless research only way which I found is:

1) publish air file with unchecked Timestamp

2) and after use microsoft SDK signtool.exe

create SignIt.bat with cmd:

signtool.exe sign /f myCertification.pfx /p **pasword** /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll myFile.exe

road is not always straight, but you can go around...

best regards

Still things work ok for me. But I realize now that I'm testing on Mac, and you're trying to publish for Windows. Perhaps kglad could take a look at your files?

Hi Colins, thank you I appreciate your efforts to help me.
You have tested those files Adobe Flash Professional CS6?

if you don't have a server that you can use, you should be able to use just about any rss feed. i don't think i've ever seen one that fails to return a time/date.

sorry, but this is not solution. Adobe air should be redirected to working timestamp server.

I've been looking through adt to see where it sets up the time server, and there is a setTimestampURL(string) call, but I can't tell where it looks for that string. You would think it's in the AIR compiler files somewhere.

Next I tried making a self signed certificate, with the timestamp option checked, and I watched with Charles to see what server was called. The certificate was made without any problem, but I didn't see any network traffic at all.

In any case, which version of AIR are you using? You would think Adobe will have noticed that the time server isn't online anymore, and maybe later versions of AIR use a different server.
