Sametime Client Installation - Signature has expired

Hello,

i have some customers that could not install Sametime Connect Client 11.6 or 12 because of expired JAR signatures within the installation packages.

"CWPST1015W: Plugin com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.rtc.core.feature_11.6.0.20210429-1049 failed to install. The reason provided is CWPST1002W: Signature has expired"

I know that i can use the workaround to trust the signature within the plugin_customization.ini, but this should be fixed very soon.

com.ibm.rcp.security.update/EXPIRED_SIGNATURE_POLICY=ALLOW

Are there any plans to update these packages very soon ?

Hello @Alexander Novak , I see this issue is reported as a defect before the product team.
As far as I am aware, fix for the same is to be tracked through the defect article:
https://support.hcl-software.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0098621.
Thanks!

Hello @Somnath Mohanty - maybe you can add the workaround in the article ?

com.ibm.rcp.security.update/EXPIRED_SIGNATURE_POLICY=ALLOW

I am sure that the workaround "Change the Operating system date prior to 5/17/2022" is not a good option

Hello @Alexander Novak, Yes a sure thing. I will discuss this further with the Defect author as well as the Sametime product team and get the workaround field updated. Thanks!

Regards,

We are testing updated package(s) now - as soon as it is thru the needed tests both the 11.6 and 12 UIM client packages will be updated.

New Connect client installs are now available, resolving this issue.
