I still have this "SHA1 with RSA" problem in Java (Sun, are you listening?)
I posted this (in bold) a few days ago:
I obtained a CSR from GoDaddy. The only cipher suite GoDaddy supports is "SHA1 with RSA", which is not in the list of Java 1.6.0_01 supported ciphers.
Can I get "SHA1 with RSA" for Java somewhere?
Should I revoke my CSR from GoDaddy and get a CSR from somebody who can provide me with a Java-supported cipher?
If the answer to the above question is "yes", to whom should I go for the CSR?
Thanks.
It was suggested that I try another certificate provider. I tried Thawte. Here is the response I got from Thawte (in bold):
Unfortunately all Certificate Authorities will have their certificates on SHA1
with RSA as that is the latest in encryption technology. We have a product
that you can use to sign your Java files, which is called the JavaSoft code
signing certificate.
For the setup that you are attempting, our SSL certificates will not work. I recommend
that you attempt to update the Java version that you are using in order to ascertain
if this will resolve the issue that you are experiencing.
I am running JRE 1.6.0_01. That is the latest version of Java, to my knowledge. And yet it does not support "SHA1 with RSA".
What can I do to get Java to support "SHA1 with RSA".
Thanks.
