VNC JavaSecurity Error

2014-08-26 Thread Walters, Gene P
I am installing SuSE 11SP3, like I have done many times before, however this 
time when I get to the part where I bring up a web page and go to the new 
instance to start a VNC session, it tells me that my security settings wont let 
me run the old version of Java that is being downloaded from the VNC server(the 
new Linux instance).  Any suggestions on getting around this?

Sounds like a problem in the browser.

What browser are you using?

Have you looked at the security settings of your browser?

Regards

We ship a Java based VNC client, and have encountered problems
with:
- the Code Signing of the .JAR file had expired, and
so a local Java installation refused to run it, deeming it
insecure. Solution was to update what we shipped with a more
corrent copy
- the Java on the local machine, which was being
started by the browser, was 'stale' and had been updated
upstream; Solution there was an update of that Java (This
especially seen on OS/X units)
- the Code Signing key used to sign the .JAR was
counteresigned by a CA (Certificate Authority) not known to
the local Java installation.  Solution was to add that CA's
'chain of trust' into the local ancillary install for the
local Java install

Reading the messages closely is needed, to understand what is
in play
