Signed Java Applet

0 down vote favorite
I have written an applet with Netbeans. When I click on Clean and Build then Netbean create a jar file "Test.jar" and also another folder called lib in the same directory. I've signed the Test.jar. Basically this applet upload files to server with FTP. So when Applet loads into browser then I am able to select files but when I click on upload then it stops. So my question is:
1. Have I also need to sign all dependent jar files?
2. My directory structure is as follow:
C:\AppletPage.html C:\Test.jar C:\lib
and code in html file is as follow
<applet code="UploadGUI.class"
archive="test.jar"
width=400 height=400></applet>Please advice me where am I wrong?
Thanks in Advance

  • Signed java applet is very slow with 1.4.2_06

    We have an application which has a signed jar applets was working fine with Java Plug-in (JPI) version 1.4.1_02.
    Due to customer requirement they want to run the same applet with JPI version 1.4.2_06, After JPI upgrade the applet is running slow.
    I am not sure what sun has changed the security settings in 1.4.2_06. So, Can some one give there thoughts on why would it run slow because of JPI changes.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It is nothing to do with Signed applet.
    If URL Connection 's setDefaultCacheUses is set to false then this is causing to run the Applet slow. As it require to download complete jar(if any) everytime.

    START OF DOC
    How To Sign a Java Applet
    The purpose of this document is to document the steps required to sign and use an
    applet using a self-signed cert or CA authorized in the JDK 1.3 plugin.
    The original 9 steps of this process were posted by user irene67 on suns message forum:
    http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=63&thread=132769
    -----begin irene67's original message -----
    These steps describe the creation of a self-signed applet. This is useful for testing purposes. For use of public reachable applets, there will be needed a "real" certificate issued by an authority like VeriSign or Thawte. (See step 10 - no user will import and trust a self-signed applet from an unkown developer).
    The applet needs to run in the plugin, as only the plugin is platform- and browser-independent. And without this indepence, it makes no sense to use java...
    1. Create your code for the applet as usual.
    It is not necessary to set any permissions or use security managers in
    the code.
    2. Install JDK 1.3
    Path for use of the following commands: [jdk 1.3 path]\bin\
    (commands are keytool, jar, jarsigner)
    Password for the keystore is any password. Only Sun knows why...
    perhaps ;-)
    3. Generate key: keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -alias tstkey
    Enter keystore password: *******
    What is your first and last name?
    [Unknown]: Your Name
    What is the name of your organizational unit?
    [Unknown]: YourUnit
    What is the name of your organization?
    [Unknown]: YourOrg
    What is the name of your City or Locality?
    [Unknown]: YourCity
    What is the name of your State or Province?
    [Unknown]: YS
    What is the two-letter country code for this unit?
    [Unknown]: US
    Is CN=Your Name, OU=YourUnit, O=YourOrg, L=YourCity, ST=YS, C=US
    correct?
    [no]: yes
    (wait...)
    Enter key password for tstkey
    (RETURN if same as keystore password):
    (press [enter])
    4. Export key: keytool -export -alias tstkey -file tstcert.crt
    Enter keystore password: *******
    Certificate stored in file tstcert.crt
    5. Create JAR: jar cvf tst.jar tst.class
    Add all classes used in your project by typing the classnames in the
    same line.
    added manifest
    adding: tst.class(in = 849) (out= 536)(deflated 36%)
    6. Verify JAR: jar tvf tst.jar

    68 Thu Jul 27 12:58:28 GMT+02:00 2000 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
    849 Thu Jul 27 12:49:04 GMT+02:00 2000 tst.class
    7. Sign JAR: jarsigner tst.jar tstkey
    Enter Passphrase for keystore: *******
    8. Verifiy Signing: jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs tst.jar
    130 Thu Jul 27 13:04:12 GMT+02:00 2000 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

    jar verified.
    9. Create HTML-File for use of the Applet by the Sun Plugin 1.3
    (recommended to use HTML Converter Version 1.3)
    10. (Omitted See Below)
    -----end irene67's original message -----
    To make the plug-in work for any browser you have two options with the JDK 1.3 plugin.
    1) Is to export a cert request using the key tool and send it to a CA verification source like verisign.
    When the reponse comes back, import it into the keystore overwriting the original cert for the generated key.
    To export request:
    keytool -certreg -alias tstkey -file tstcert.req
    To import response:
    keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias tstkey -file careply.crt
    An applet signed with a cert that has been verified by a CA source will automatically be recognized by the plugin.
    2) For development or otherwise, you may want to just use your self-signed certificate.
    In that case, the JDK 1.3 plugin will recognize all certs that have a root cert located in the JDK 1.3 cacerts keystore.
    This means you can import your test certificate into this keystore and have the plugin recognize your jars when you sign them.
    To import self-signed certificate into the cacerts keystore, change directory to where the JDK plugin key store is located.
    For JDK 1.3.0_02: C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02\lib\security
    For JDK 1.3.1: C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\security
    Import your self-signed cert into the cacerts keystore:
    keytool -import -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit -file tstcert.crt
    (the password is literally 'changeit')
    Now, regardless of which method you use, the applet should be recognized as coming from a signed jar. The user can choose to activate it if he / she chooses. If your applet uses classes from multiple jars, for example Apache's Xerce's parser, you will need to sign those jars as well to allow them to execute in the client's brower. Otherwise, only the classes coming from the signed jar will work with the java.security.AllPermission setting and all other classes from unsigned jars will run in the sandbox.
    NOTE: Unless otherwise specified by the -keystore command in all keytool and jarsigner operations, the keystore file used is named '.keystore' in the user's home directory.
    The first time any keystore is accessed (including the default) it will be created and secured with the first password given by the user. There is no way to figure out the password if you forget it, but you can delete the default file and recreate it if necessary. For most operations, using the -keystore command is safer to keep from cluttering or messing up your default keystore.

  • I can't run signed Java Applets

    HI
    I have a java applet where I need to have acces to a local file, but I can't get IE to run the applet. (IE do not come with the Secutiy Warning window.)
    From the homepage, I run the applet via:

    </script>
    And the java code is:
    import java.applet.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class read_file extends Applet{
         public char[][] ip;
         public int counter;

    public void init() {

         counter =0;
         try {     
         BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:\test\config.txt"));

    What do I need to different ?

    I see no reason why you want to make this applet for the msjvm, here is how you do it with the sun sdk:
    Signing applets:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=63&thread=524815
    second post and last post for the java class file
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=63&thread=409341
    4th post explaining how to set up your own policy with your own keystore
    (my copy and paste fingers are really getting tired now, copyd and pasted this
    for about a 100 times now)
    Notice some differences in the html code of the examples (they don't use the applet tag)
    If you're aiming for the msjvm because you don't want any support form MS in
    the near future and want to delever a legacy unsupported unmaintainable applet
    than I have to ask you how you compiled the applet. If you used the SUN sdk
    then are you aware that the msjvm cannot handle java version higher than 1.1?
    So you have to compile it like this: javac -source 1.3 -target 1.1 ....
    Your html file seems to be missng the cabbase value so how do you expect
    IE to find the cab file?

  • Signed JAVA applet still not connecting.

    I have a signed applet that works in my development environment, but as soon as I run it from my website, I get this:
    basic: Referencing classloader: sun.plugin.ClassLoaderInfo@1754ad2, refcount=1
    basic: Added progress listener: sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPainter@a7c45e
    basic: Loading applet ...
    basic: Initializing applet ...
    basic: Starting applet ...
    basic: completed perf rollup
    network: Connecting socket://XXX.XX.X.XXX:XXXX with proxy=DIRECT
    And that's it, it stops. It never loads the UI, or anything.
    I believe the signing worked. I accepted the security certificate when it came up. I'm not getting any other errors (Like a security error).
    any help would be appreciated.
    I realize this isn't a lot of information, but It works fine in the IDE, so I don't think it's the code. I have stack traces in every try/catch, so I should see any exceptions. Also, this is being served by the same server as the web-page. It didn't work before I signed it, so I thought that would fix it.
    The only error like this that I find on the forums is an unsigned applet not working after it's moved to the server.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Make sure that the remote socket you are connecting to, i'm assuming probably your home computer? has the port(s) at your (local) router forwarding to your computer,or whichever computer is listening for the connection.

  • Creating signed Java applet for Netscape 4x

    I have created a signed jar with SuperUser privileges under Netscape.
    public void init() {
    try {
    if( Class.forName("netscape.security.PrivilegeManager") != null ) {
    netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("SuperUser");
    } catch( ClassNotFoundException cnfe ) {
    cnfe.printStackTrace();
    With this I am getting following error without any dailog prompting to grant permission.
    netscape.security.ForbiddenTargetException: User didn't grant the SuperUser privilege.
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Satish

    Then it's likely Netscape 4.x doesn't recognize the jar as being signed. How did you sign the jar?
    Why didn't you ask this in the more appropriate Signed Applets forum?

  • Simplest way to sign Java applets

    is there a way that i could sign applets without using the command line? its kinda in efficient if i may say.
    thanks in advance.

    Maybe an IDE will be able to do it?
    Or you could create a build script (ant is good), so building your applet (including signing it) becomes
    ant clean; ant
    You could event expand it to deploy.
    ant deploy

  • Java applet and vertical scroll bar

    Hi,
    We are upgrading from SRM 3.0 to 5.0 and are encountering these 2 issues:
    1- When clicking on approval preview users get a Java pop up box titled "request authentication", the warning message is: Identification Required. Please select certificate to be used for authentication." when the click okay it disappears and approval preview is displayed. No configuration is maintained for signed java applet.
    2- in shop create on the web, everytime the page gets refreshed from entering data or clicking on an icon, it displays back in sections starting with the top of the page (default settings for items) and it may take up to 20 seconds for the whole page to finally get displayed.
    If anyone has encountered and was able resolve these issues, please let me know.
    (SRM 550 SAPKIBKT10)
    Thank you,
    Richard

    Not sure if this issue is resolved, but the 1st question is something which is related to the IT Network/PC division folks. The certificate is termed "unsafe" or "not trusted" by your network, this is why you get the popup everytime. Inform the network division of your company which is responsible for the maintenance of servers/workstations to add this certificate into the "trusted certificate" list of their servers. Even your basis team should be able to guide you.

  • Java 1.5.09/10 Java Applet on Vista - starts but never downloads files

    We are attempting to test a java 1.5.07 compiled and signed Java applet with Windows Vista (from MSDN).
    Logged in as an administrator on the client PC, we installed the 1.5.09 and the 1.5.10 JRE on the client.
    We then changed the html of the applet page to specifiy the new plugin version so it matched the JRE installed on the client.
    When we start up IE7, point to our HTML applet page, and attempt to download (cache) our applet, the default Java plugin graphic with the progress bar onthe bottom shows up, but no progress is ever made.
    Taking a look at the Java console with full debugging turned on, we don't see any activity. When I dumped the classloader list, it only shows the codebase string, but no classes are actually loaded.
    I thought that maybe a popup window (asking to verify the certificate) might have popped up and was hidden by another window, but that's not the case. It never appears.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I can certainly attempt to capture more debug if someone can point me in the right direction!
    Thanks!
    -Matt

    Ok, some more info - and this gets interesting!
    The server is located in a DMZ here at work. (We have offshore teams in russia who are developing and testing code)
    It seems to be an issue with the internal firewall/DMZ here at work.
    We moved the codebase to a machine that is locally located (not in a DMZ) and presto, the applet begins to download.
    When I find out more information, I'll post in case anyone else comes across a similar concern/issue. It may be the firewall/router vendor?!?

  • Firefox 23 is blocking local Java applets

    My company's signed Java applet runs fine from online websites. The applet is designed also to be used from CDs and other local file systems. However it does not now run at all when running locally, eg from a URL like this: file:///D|/fiscd/search2.htm
    The applet tag looks like this:
    <APPLET CODE=fisCD NAME=fisCD WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=300 ARCHIVE="fiscd.jar" MAYSCRIPT>
    </APPLET>
    I think this started in Firefox 23 and is possibly related to this fix:

    Other users are also seeing this problem.
    Do you have a fix for this problem?
    Can you check that local signed Java applets can run OK please?
    Any other suggestions?

  • Java Applet Certificate Signing Window comes up BLANK!

    Hi Everyone I have a problem where
    Java Applet Certificate Signing Window comes up BLANK!
    It comes up as blank gray panel with the java logo on the upper left.
    the title bar says "Java Plugin Security Warning"
    And I can't figure out what to do to make it come up properly. I tried double clicking it dragging it around to make it repaint itself nothing happens.
    I have tried clearing temp files deleting files from IE, deleting cookies, clearing the history.
    Now i'm going to restart the computer and see if it works.
    It is supposed to give me buttons.
    1. Accept for this session
    2. Grant
    3. Deny
    4. View Certificate
    But does anyone have any idea how to address this issue ?

    You might try setting the trace level to 5 in the plugin's Java console and looking what it spits out while the applet is launching. I remember seeing loads of information in there including stuff relating to certificate validation. It might be helpful.
    The trick to getting this info during start up:
    1) get the plugin to load by directing your browser to page with a known applet. Write your own little stub applet and load it or go to http://java.sun.com/. There's an applet on that page.
    2) bring up the plugin's console if it's not already and then go to a blank page.
    3) set the trace level to 5 in the console. (just press the 5 key).
    4) go to the page that launches your applet. You'll have tons of information pour out in your console.
    Happy hunting.

  • Java Applet Window showing on signed applet popups

    I have an applet deployed that is signed, but I'm experiencing a very annoying problem with JPopup windows that cross outside the border of the JFrame created by the Applet.
    Those pop-up windows still show the warning at the bottom "Java Applet Window". That part is pretty annoying and I don't understand why it's doing that since they are coming from a signed, trusted applet.
    Just to be clear, any of the JPopups or JDialogs or anything else we display inside the frame doesn't have this warning since we signed the applet.

    Our team is also using a signed applet and are having trouble with popup items not being accessible outside of the JFrame.
    In appletviewer the popup (JXDatePicker) is fully accessible. If running in Internet Explorer on Windows 2000 the portion of the popup outside of the JFrame paints correctly but cannot receive click events correctly.
    It would be preferrable that if the popup cannot receive events outside of the applet frame that the popup would be smart enough to pop itself fully in the applet frame.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

  • Question about Java Applet Jar file signing.

    These questions pertain to Java 6 Standard Edition 1.6.0_22-b04 and later.
    I have gone through the Oracle Java Tutorial for generate public and private key information
    to sign a jar file, and how to sign the jar itself, all at
    [http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/signed.html|http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/signed.html]
    , and seek some clarification on the following related questions:
    -In order to "escape" the java applet sandbox that exists around the client's
    copy of the applet running in their web browser, ie.
    (something forbidden by default), is verification of the signed applet enough, or is a policy file required
    to stipulate these details?
    -using the policytool policy file generator, what do I need to add under "Principals"
    (if anything) when dealing with a Java applet? Are Codebase and SignedBy simply author information?
    -If I choose to use a java.security.Permission subclass object set up in equivalent fashion within the Applet,
    which class within the Applet jar do I instantiate that object in? Does it need to be mentioned
    in the applet's jar Manifest.MF file?
    -Is the "keystore database" a java language service/process which runs in
    the Server's memory and is simply accessed and started by default
    by the client verifier program (appletview/web browser)?
    -The public key certificate file (*.cer) is put in the webserver directory holding
    the Applet jar file (ie. Apache Tomcat, for example).
    -Presumably, the web browser detects the signed jar
    and certificate file, and provides the browser pop up menu asking the user
    about a new, non recognised certificate (initially).
    Is this so?
    -With this being the case, can the applet now escape
    the sandbox, be it with or without the stipulated
    policy permissions?

    and certificate file, and provides the browser pop up menu asking the user

    Is this so?No. It is the JVM that determines when to pop the confirmation dialog.
    -With this being the case, can the applet now escape
    the sandbox, ..Assuming the end-user OK's the trust prompt, yes.
    ..be it with or without the stipulated
    policy permissions?Huh?
