Signed Applet does not load

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23515669

Question

I've a simple HelloWorld applet, I am embedding that in the HTML. It worked fine. But I put the applet in the jar and signed the jar, but it does not load saying "Self signed jars can't be supported" I am signing using ICA issued cert. More over we never faced this issue before 1.7.51 version. BTW : I went through Oracle Documentation on adding parameters

According to it I tried to add following attributes in the signed MANIFEST.MF namely : Permissions: sandbox, Trusted-Library: true but this also did not help. I am not sure I'am missing something.

Manifest looks like this :

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Trusted-Library: true
Permissions: all-permissions
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: *
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: *
Codebase: *

Created-By: 1.7.0_45 (Oracle Corporation)

Name: HelloWorld$1.class
SHA1-Digest: xcxzcbxzcbxzcbxzcb=

Name: HelloWorld.class
SHA1-Digest: xaadfasfdasdfsafd=

Adding console logs :

Solution 2

Well I found the solution for this :

Check following three things.

1) Certificate has valid chain upto root and CA/ICA are public root.
2) Manifest.MF must have 2 attributes.
  • Codebase: < location/hostname on which you are going to deploy your jar>
  • Permissions: One of two values (Sandbox or all-permissions)

Check more information here.

OTHER TIPS

The Trusted-Library entry is relevant only before Java 1.7.45. Since that you need to add the parameters mentioned in that question.
