I am trying to verify that I can sign my jars with a Thawte CA in order to get out of the sandbox.
I have a multi-purpose codesigning certificate from Thawte that I have been using to sign an ActiveX control that I also use. Thawte told me that I could use this cert to sign java code as well and I have followed all instructions to import and export this cert until it is now a .p12 file.
I signed my jar with this file and it seemed to sign correctly.
JWS gives me the folllowing errors:
"Warning: Failed to verify the authenticity of this certificate because there was an error parsing the certificate. No assertions can be made of the origin or validity of the code.
It is highly recommended not to install and run this code."
If I run using the commandline javaws <path to jnlp file>.jnlp I get the following error:
Do you want to trust the signed application distributed by "Company Name"? Publisher authenticity can not be verified. The security certificate was issued by a company that is not trusted.
When I click on the "More Details" button I can see my certificate and everything looks like it is in order.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Gary
