Hi
I would like to know whether purchasing a certificate form Verisign/Thwate help in overcoming errors that occurs in applets signed using jarsigner.
I just want to know whether getting a certifcate from verisign/thwate is superior to the jarsigner.(what actually is the difference)
Regards
Shibu
Verisign/Thwate signatures are already in the client's keystore.
The jre will still ask the user do you trust or do you want to run but there
is a green picture where jarsigned signatures would show a red one.
It would not solve your problem to buy a cert. Maybe you have to use
doprivileged or the clients need to install 3rd party jars in their lib/ext folder.

second post and reply 18 for the java class file using doprivileged
Still problems?
A Full trace might help us out:

Hello Brother
I'm sorry for the delayed reply. I was not available for a few days. There is nothing that I have ignored your comments. I could not reply you because I was not the one facing the problems with the Security related exception. Things were fine on my machine. I had done the application. What you do is a very big help to developers like me. (I could not make the other person give me the trace with the steps you had mentioned). Please dont take things personal. The tips you provide are helpful and we are quite thankful to you. I will definitely help you when there is a opportunity. You can take that.
regards
Shibu
Hi Shibu,
Sorry to be so grumpy but like before without any real info what's
happening on the client like
tracing, policy or security files we can only gues.
Hope you solve the problem.
Things you should think about:
browser might use msjvm (IE) and ignores signed content.
browser might use a jre higher than 1.4.2 that needs doprivileged in
some cases (code called by javascript for example)
user might be part of corporate network that switched off the do you trust
behavior and gives trust control to administrators using java.security
and or java.policy.
