Signed applet not working in firefox - java.security.AccessControlException

Hello,
I have a signed applet that works fine in IE 7 but in Firefox I'm getting this exception in the java console:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission myhost.com resolve)
I already tried to run the applet with different JRE versions in Firefox with the same result: 1.6.0_01, 1.6.0_02, 1.6.0_03, 1.6.0_05
I'll appreciate your help.

thanx 4 replying
using the browser to view Applet is not recomended that is because if u change the the source-code and recompile the applet then run it using the broswer it will run the old-version
Also i've found the solution here

Java Applets not working with Firefox 5 properly

Java Applets work sometime. But after sometime the Java icon at the bottom (near date & time) disappears. After this no matter what I do it does not work. Java Applets are used in this case to draw charts. The same charts come out properly in Internet Explorer. But I prefer using Firefox for its speed. What is the reason for this problem ?

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> ''Firefox will: '''select "Remember History"'''''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Right click for copy/paset on signed applet not working

Hi Guys,
I have an application which runs forms containing different controls like text fields, text areas etc. The forms are rendered in applets in Windowos 7. After upgrading to JRE1.7u45 the right click menu containing copy/paste options which used to appear when any right click done inside textfield or other control has disappeared except for textarea controls. Interestingly the right click is working inside TextArea but not in other controls.
My Applet is digitally signed(Verisign) and all permissions set. I have also tried accessClipboard permission in my .java.policy file to no avail.
My applet code is rather old. We tried to upgrade JDK to 1.7u45 to compile and sign the JAR but we got few errors so we used JDK 1.3 to compile the JAR and 1.7u45 to sign the JAR file. Can this be a cause for right click menu not working?
Please suggest/advise on this.
Thanks,

Signed applet not working with weblogic 5.1

I have a problem with a signed applet. The applet is signed correctly
and it starts up the dynamic trust management console in java plugin
1.3.1_02 when accessed locally with the browser. But when trying to
access the applet through weblogic (5.1) the dynamic trust management
doesn't popup, as if the applet is not recognized as signed. In the
weblogic policy file in WLS I have set permissions to include the
applet class (AllPermission given to codeBase https://-, and file:/-
to be sure that it's not the problem).
I have tryed to run it under both http and https. I'm not making an
rmi connection back to WL. I'm simply trying to write on the local
file system with the applet.
The error received in the javaconsole is java.lang.SecurityException:
java.lang.SecurityException: Unable to create temporary file

I really apreaciate any tips you might have!

yeah. I noticed the same thing. now the splash screen comes on without the flashing green squares and just hangs. i tried unintalling and then reinstalling and still no go. kind of annoying but they will probably come out with an update pretty soon

Saving sign in not working

Saving "Sign in" not working in Firefox but okay using MS Explorer

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?<br />
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.<br />

Java applet not working savevid keepvid

Hi all,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been confounded by Java applets not working in certain download web services; in my case, keepvid.com and savevid.com to download copies of youtube videos. It has been a huge headache and even debilitating in my case. I teach film and video to middle schoolers, and we often use youtube as a resource for our class projects.
I found a solution today, I think, and wanted to share it:
I installed the browser called "Torch" and it seems to work fine, so far.

thanx 4 replying

Java 7 Update 11 Not Working with Firefox

For me, the problems described in the thread "Java 7 Update 10 Not Working with Firefox? " Java 7 Update 10 Not Working with Firefox?
are continuing with Java 7 Update 11.
Windows 7 64 bit
Firefox 18
The problem is that "Java(TM) Platform" is missing from the plug-in list.
I've uninstalled Java 7 Update 11 and reinstalled Java Update 9 which correctly installs the plugin and restores Java functionality which was broken immediately upon installing both Java 10 & 11.

So why not using Ju11 ? You can workaround the issue. It would sucks but still be safer than using Ju9.
Also ask Mozilla forums if Firefox has options where to search for plugins.
Or try 64-bit Firefox.As I explained in both threads ...

Java 7 Update 11 Not Working with Firefox
... neither jre7u10 nor jre7u11 are working ... and they are BOTH broken with the same problem ... "Java(TM) Platform" pliugin is missing from the plug-in list. It cannot be enabled, because it simply is NOT there. A suggestion was made the jre7u12 will be the "fix" for this issue ... so I installed the Update 12 Preview and it sis ALSO broken, no "Java(TM) Platform" in the plug-in list.
The ONLY Java version that actually works for me is jre7u9.
As far as installing Firefox 64bit ... I see no future in installing a browser that has been discontinued.

Even though Mozilla relented due to backlash, I continued development will be a somewhat low priority.

Java.security.AccessControlException: access denied; for a signed applet

Hi,
I have a signed applet which is used to read local files. When I call the applet method which is reading the file, from javascript I am getting "java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ". Where as if the method gets called during applet load, file is read without errors? How can I get over this problem?
If there is a way loading the applet based on a condition from Javascript, please let me know.
Thanks,

.This was working in 1.4.2 and 1.3.1_08. Anyone else have this problem?

Sorry, copied and pasted the following, hope it helpes.
The following examples are for a win 2000 machine, for linux
you have to use alternative paths but I think the commands
are about the same.
The SUN jre doesn't care about IE settings, if an applet is signed it will ask the user "do you trust", if
the user chooses yes or always the applet can do pretty much anything.
Because anybody can sign an applet so it will pop up the do
you trust dialog I prevent this dialog from popping up by
adding the following to the
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re****\lib\security\java.policy
under grant { [/b]
[color red]
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "usePolicy";
[color]
You now need to set up special permissions for sites that
need it, signed applets get no special treatment since you
specified in the java.policy that policy should allways be
used.
When your applet needs to do something it normally could
not do (applet security) [b]and it needs to do this
when a user clicks on a html button (applet method called
from javascript), than all the signing and policy settings
in the world wouldn't work Unless you grant all permission
to all code.
This is because the Java Plug-in executes methods with
applet sandbox security restrictions.
http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0404&L=java-security&F=&S=&P=4012
To solve this you can start a new thread that checks ...
times a second if a variable meets certain conditions.
These conditions are changed with public methods called
from JavaScript. When a variable meets certain Conditions
this thread will start the method that will perform
normally restricted tasks.
Here is an example where the applet doesn't work
(the batchfile, html file are OK)
Note that running this code with Mozilla on my w2k machine
crashes Mozilla (not on my Fedora machine)

delete some files)

Please let me know on how to rectify this problem. Thanks,

I am experiencing the same problem - I notice it does not happen on OS9.2 using IE but appears a problem on all browsers on OSX
Apple gave me the following reply.....
Re: Bug ID# 3268633: cannot load applet class under https connection
Hello Andrew,
Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. We have received feedback
from engineering on your
reported issue.
Please know that to get Java to recognize the certificate you will need to do
one of two things, depending
on which VM you are using. Since you want it to work with Internet Explorer, we
will assume Java 1.3.1.
In Java 1.3.1 you'll need to add the certificate to
/Library/Java/Home/lib/security/cacerts using
/usr/bin/keytool to import the certificate into the certificate database.
In Java 1.4.1 you should be able to just add the certificate to the keychain
using certtool. For more
details on how to do this, please refer to the information found at
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html>. After
doing so, if you should require
further help from Apple in resolving this issue, we recommend that you request
assistance from Developer
Technical Support. This must be done by filing a Technical Support Incident.
So I am supposed to tell every Mac user to do the above am I?!!!

Java.security.AccessControlException when calling web service from applet

I have an applet that calls a webservce (Xmethods' delayed stock quote service). When I run the applet in appletviewer, I get the following:
[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 66.28.98.121:9090 connect,resolve); targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
Error opening socket: java.security.AccessControlException:
access denied
etc.....
My code works fine as an application, but not as an applet. (This was after I eventually had to extract the necessary SOAP .jar files into the same directory as my applet, but that's another topic...or maybe not?)
Help!
Regards,
John Kirksey

The default security settings does not give an applet to connect to any other server apart from the one from which it was downloaded. This is your problem. To mitigate that you have to change the security setting of the applet conatiner i.e the JVM in the browser.
