Problems signing Applet in jdk 1.3.1
Hi,
I have signed and deployed applets in 1.4.1. Since we have to port it to jdk 1.3.1, i have repeated the process ( recreated the certificate and signed the jar file using keytool, jarsigner shipped with jdk v 1.3.1_04). Now I am getting the java.security.cert.CertificateException: Unable to verify the certificate with root CA.
These are the steps I followed.
1. Created a keystore and certificate using keytool:
>keytool -genkey -alias krishna -keystore keystore . It prompted me for a store password, and I have supplied it.
> keytool -export -alias krishna -keystore keystore -file testcert.crt. It generated the certificate.
Then I added both the keystore ( which might not be necessary) as well as testcert.crt files to the jar file.
and I signed it using jarsigner. The jarsigner -verify says the jar is verified.
But after loading the html file, I get the CertificateException.
I don't have this problem when I first used 1.4.1
Do I have to use policy files. This would be inconvenience to the users if they have to import those policy files.
TIA,
Krishna
I am attaching the java console traces:
