The Code Signing process is successful if I bypass our proxy/firewall. However
this is not an option since I have to carry my iMac 27" over about 500m each
time I want to sign an application !!!
A check with tcpdump shows that xCode tries to access
<http://timestamp.apple.com/ts01> which is blocked here (I don't know why and
how).
What we use here is <http://ntp1.ill.fr> and I doubt it I can have this changed.
Is it possible to replace the default timestamp service used by xCode by
another one ?
The codesign command, at least on 10.8, takes a "--timestamp [servername]" flag
to specify a non-Apple time stamping server, and you can specify custom codesign
flags in Xcode. You can also set it to "none" so that the build will not be
cryptographically timestamped at all. I don't know if there's any reason not to
set it to "none" --- I haven't tried it, but I've wondered if it might not be a
good idea on our continuous integration servers etc. Or even for all of our
builds. Has anyone experimented with this?
There's been a thread about timestamps over at the CDSA list in mid march where
Perry helpfully explained what the purpose of timestamps is:
