signing an applet

What browser and JRE version are you using?

i dont know what the clients use, but i have IE 6.0 and JRE 1.3.1.
and it wont work on mine

ok.

If the client has IE and MS VM (its a JRE 1.1), you will need to sign it with the MS JAVA SIGNING tool.

anyways do you get the security pop-up when you run the applet. It contains something like Do you trust blahblah ....  Grant this session, allways grant, no etc.

??

no i dont even get the popup, the applet just throw th e securiry exception...

can you give me a step by step howto that works ?
like the one i gave ??

what versions of what. etc...

You should get somthing like this if you have signed your code:

Sorry for the example the only one I could remember.

no i dont get that popup on my applet.

i meant some code/keytool examples that works ?

We need to be sure that IE actually uses the SUN JRE and not the MS JRE.

Does it look exactly like this :

Or does it have a more MS IE look to it ?

i dont get the popup !!!!

my applet just throws a security execption.
the jar isn't signed correctly.

så i ask if you can give me a step by step "howto sign the jar file"
like the desciption i gave in the first question.

pleas press the link and look how it looks in your browser, and compare it with the image http://www.lyhr.dk/temp/security.jpg.

Are they identical?

there isnt a popup i have to sign the jar first.....

Please read the following carefully:

1: It could be that you have signed the applet correctly, but that the JRE in your browser does NOT support it. If the JRE in your browser is the default Microsoft Virtual Maschine, you get an exception because it requires you to sign it differently.

->Therefor first an foremost we must find out what JRE your browser uses. To do this you have to click on the link to unibank(because they use signed applet) and note what the popup looks like. Next you have to compare this with image at lyhr.dk.

Now if they are identical we know that the JRE is Sun's and then you have NOT signed the applet correcly. On the other hand if you get a different Popup from unibank, then it is MS VM and then you need to sign it with there signing tool, not the sun version.

Allways remove the source problem!

I dont say that this is the answer, but its a step on the way.


I cant be any cleare than this.
