Expected behavior To get a more detailed error message why the signing has failed. It's difficult without more information to understand why the signing has failed.

I see you're providing "timestamp_uri: 'http://timestamp.digicert.com'". You don't have to provide a uri, we always set up a default that acts most stable for us.

So, can you remove that value, and see if that improves the situation?

[Arthurvdv]

Thanks, I did not know that. (I thought that this setting was mandatory and never thought of it to leave it empty and see if it works :-D.

I've changed this in our pipelines and for now will close this issue. If the problem reoccurs, I'll reopen the issue.

[waldo1001]

Well, you know, we try to make is as easy as at all possible for people ;-)
