Facetime: which certificate does it use?

So, what happened was I installed FaceTime and got it setup and working and registered and all those good things: bliss!
The I got a new MBP: 256GB of flash goodness which is super-fast and boots almost instantly! Heaven.
Ported over my stuff using Migration Assistant, and all is good, except for FaceTime. Attempting to login to FaceTime now, I get the error "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." in FaceTime itself.
In the console I get a very interesting error:
10/11/2010 13:57:05 imagent[80182] [Warning] FTMessageDelivery failed! Error (NSURLErrorDomain:-1205): The server �registration.ess.apple.com� did not accept the certificate. https://registration.ess.apple.com/WebObjects/VCRegistrationService.woa/wa/regis ter

This would seem to suggest that whatever registration/login mechanism is being used by Apple is not happy with me having moved my stuff to another machine. Looks like I need to regenerate, or at least delete, this offending certificate, but I am stuffed if I can figure out which certificate it is trying to use. Anyone had a similar problem, or could suggest a way to figure out which cert it is trying to use?

And just for the record, yes, I have tried it on a different network, so its not that. And yes, I have logged the bug with the ADC bugreporter, but no solution forthcoming from them yet.

Same here ...... setting time to Apple's Time Server resolved the problem.

Didn't have the certificate either.


Facetime is one of those big FAILS created by the geeks at Apple.

Under these circumstances, FT will never, ever go mainstream ( neither in the Apple world or elsewhere ).


And knowing that behind the curtains of Cupertino, there has never, ever been any question of going for an apology ( that's an absolute No No there ), we will always have to be our own firefighters when it comes down to rescue our Macs from the "mistakes" of those j...ks.


Shame on these "apprentice" geniuses !
