cacerts import question

Hi,

I am running on win2k, jre 1.3.1-c java2 applet. My applet is signed accordingling. I am using a self signed certificate for testing and have imported this into my only existing cacerts file. I have dumped the file and have seen my certificate. I do realize that as soon as I purchase a thawte or versigin certificate, this import step will not be necessary.

Anyway, when I run my applet, I still get the error that has been described many times before, the one about the certificate not being recognized so the applet will now run unsigned.

I signed my jar with the same certificate that I imported into the cacerts file. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Is this only a problem with self signed certs?

I have read about some developers getting this to work, but the threads have gotten to tangled to follow.

Any thoughts?

I had this problem for a while and it turned out to be a path problem when I was signing my app. Make sure you are using the same JRE version on the client as you did when you signed the applet. Also see the following:

Why? is that a bug or something?

Just make sure the JRE plugin that is active, is using the JRE which contains your certificate.
