Signed app "Unsigned application requesting unrestricted access to system"
843802Apr 7 2009 — edited Apr 7 2009We deploy a Java application via Web Start to a number of users in our firm. Most of them can install and launch the application just fine. But one user gets the error "Unsigned application requesting unrestricted access to system".
All of our jars are signed, and other users can install and launch. We have a valid Thawte Code Signing Certificate.
I cleared the Java cache and reinstalled as recommended in this link, without resolving the issue.

I looked in her Java control panel and our certificate wasn't there. Perhaps she inadvertently declined the "Run this application?" dialog? In any event, I explicitly imported it, and was able to verify the details, but same error again.
This message specific to the nativelib jar, that happens to be a native library jar containing Win32 DLLs. I don't know if that's a clue.
<nativelib href="http://MyDomain//platformNative/lib/Win32.jar?z=MyAuthToken" download="eager" main="false"/>
The error dialog "Unable to launch" application occurs after verifying all of the preceding jars but before launching the main app. The last jar in the JNLP is that Win32.jar.
All of our users are running Java 1.6.0_11 (to avoid the problem with broken desktop icons in releases 12 and 13) with Internet Explorer 6.
Any ideas or diagnostics?
