Hi Krazy ( or do you prefer Smile ? ), it's always good practice to include the OCSP check when validating a signature. The problem ou're facing seems to stem from an unreachable OCSP responder or a broken OCSP reference within your certificate. Both shouldn't happen when using smart card based certificates.
Maybe you can post the document ?

Ive got 2 signed pdfs. one i sign with itext and a smartcard, and other a test pdf i sign with acrobat professional and the same smartcard. the only diference between them is the one signed in acrobat has : "signature is timestamped". now... in adobe preferences - Security - advanced preferences, there is this a check box: "Require certificate revocation checking to succeed whenever possible during signature verification". if i leave it with the default value (checked): the itext pdf, gives an "validity unknow"; the acrobat pdf gives a valid Signature; if i uncheck it, they both give a Valid signature. also, with the option checked, i get: "Contacting http://adobe-ocsp.geotrust.com/responder for OCSP based revocation checking, press ESC to cancel" So, why am i getting the "validity unknow" ? Is there any way to solve it? Im only concerning this, because adobe reader, has by default, this option checked. Any help apreciated. regards. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Signature-%22validity-unknow%22-tp18066572p18066572.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
