Hi dev, I'm forwarding a mail received on the users list about certificate usage on Studio.
Apache Directory Studio jars (including plugins and features) are all signed using the keytool command during the build of a release. This certificate allows Eclipse to verify the validity of the software during the installation with the update site. Until now, we were using a self-signed certificate which, as it is self-signed, only lasts 6 months. As you can see on the mail below, this situation is causing some issue. Stefan suggested me on IM that for the next releases we could request an ASF-signed certificate from infra. I think it's a good idea. WDOT ? Does anyone know if infra can provide us such a certificate ? Thanks, Pierre-Arnaud Begin forwarded message: > From: Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot <[email protected]> > Date: 13 juillet 2010 14:52:15 HAEC > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: apache directory studio certificate > > Hi Nicolas, > > I'm neither a certificate expert, but I did the signing of the jars and the > certificate is on my machine. > > I exported the public key at this location for you: > http://people.apache.org/~pamarcelot/studio.cer > > I hope it worked... > > Regards, > Pierre-Arnaud > > On 13 juil. 2010, at 14:22, Nicolas Dordet wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I'm trying to install ldap browser eclipse plugin by command line >> ($INSTDIR\IDE\eclipse\eclipsec -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director >> -repository $URLUpdateSite -installIU >> org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.feature.feature.group/1.5.3.v20100330") >> but I get an error message : "certificat rejected" >> Note that the certificate is out of date but the update site installation >> works well. >> >> (I'm not a certificate expert). >> I try to import the STUDIO.DSA (I found it in the feature jar) in my >> keystore with keytool but I could'nt. >> >> So, where can I find the public key and how could I import it to my >> keystore? >> >> I also try to build the plugin (thinking I could put away the certificate >> request but I didn't find it) and I've got the same error. >> >> >> Any help needed >> >> Thanks >
