Hello,
we are using the jacob.jar file in our Forms10/Forms11 application. We are moving towards Java8 and we wanted to sign the .jar file. I browsed through some web sites describing the process, however I am still confused. This is what I found:
https://uk.godaddy.com/help/requesting-a-code-or-driver-signing-certificate-4777
I thought the Certificate Signing Request would be generated on the Forms11 (Fussion Middleware) server. However from the godaddy instructions that I confirmed with their tech. support this is what I was told:
- - I need to generate the CSR on my PC Client.
- - Send that CSR to Godaddy and this will be verified.
- - I will then download a certificate and I will have to install it on all devices, which in my environment are Citrix servers and many PC's.
What if I have 200 PC's? Is that how it should work? or is it only how it works with Godaddy?
In my Java Security tab when I click on Manage Certificates I can see in the System tab I have something like :
Signer CA -> thawte primary Root Ca
-> Go Daddy Root Certificate Authority - G2
What does it mean? All my PC's will have those entries as they are part of the build in our infrastructure. See my attachment.
I checked other web sites, but the instructions keep missing that crucial piece of info:
Symantec

Global Sign:

The information is missing the key element, do I generate the CSR on the PC or Forms11 server?
Can anyone shed some light on this subject?
