If app is waiting for review, how can I create an ad hoc version?

Question

I just submitted my app, and now it's "waiting for review"... I want to send someone on my test team the latest version using Ad Hoc distribution. However, I keep getting this error:

while attempting to login to iTunes Connect during validation. Is there a way around this?

I would recommend using a service like http://www.testflightapp.com. You can use the same IPA you submitted to the app store with the same license and distribute it to anyone via an email address. They have to install software but it works great.

Update: This answer from Spokane-Dude (questioner)

You don't need to validate the application to use ad hoc distribution. You archive it, choose "Distribute...", and then choose the middle radio button "Save for Enterprise or Ad Hoc Deployment". You choose a profile, click through any keychain prompts, and get a save dialog.
