Does anybody have any experience with signing applets? I can't seem to
make it work. Here is more detailed information:
Environment: Linux RH 5.2 (2.0.36)
Blackdown JDK 1.1.7v1a
Netscape Communicator 4.5
Problem description: I have written an applet, compiled it and created a
jar file. Since the applet needs to read a file on the client system it
must be signed. I have followed the steps outlined in
http://java.sun.com/security/usingJavakey.html
in order to sign the applet. However, when I load the applet in
Navigator, the Java Console displays the following:
# Error: Invalid Hash of this JAR entry (-7882)
# jar file: /tmp/jzip36F28FDB0001BB9
# path: FileSenderApplet$ButtonHandler.class
# Error: Strange PKCS7 or RSA failure (-7881)
# jar file: /tmp/jzip36F28FDB0001BB9
# path: /tmp/jzip36F28FDB0001BB9
# Error: loading of signatures has failed (-1)
# jar file: /tmp/jzip36F28FDB0001BB9
# path: /home/ugo/work/CBIM/prqa/
and of course the applet throws a SecurityException whenever it tries to
open a local file. I have seen signed applets work in Navigator, so it
must be a problem with my understanding of javakey, but where?
TIA,
Ugo
