Subject: VeriSign and Sercurity in JDK 1.2?
In the past Metaphase Technologies has been using the VeriSign mechanism
to sign our e!Vista client application. Running the VeriSign
Certificate containing JAR file in the JRE 1.2 VM does not indicate that
the certificate is being recognized. I have seen posts on the list that
state that the latest versions of the Plug-In will recognize
certificates and follow a certificate chain verify.
Does this NOT include VeriSign?
Do we have to go to producing our own signatures?
If the above is true is there anyway to make the granting of Sandbox
privileges more transparent to the user than forcing him to manage a key
store database?
We would prefer to use the old VeriSign mechanism. Is this possible in
1.2?
