How can I make openssl doesn't add a signed attribute "signingTime" when I sign a cms/cades singnature?

Hello Shiyao,

the signing time attribute has always been considered mandatory or in
any case useful and only with CAdES optional and even with PAdES not
allowed.
A request similar to yours has already been received (see
https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2017-February/005240.html)
I also believe that CMS API flag would be useful that allows
suppression of the signing-time attribute.

In openssl libs, signing-time attribute is set in the function CMS_SignerInfo_sign. But I can't find a way to control it not to set  signing-time attribute. So I want to know if there is a way to not to set signing-time attribute or delete this attribute without changing the openssl source code.
