Signing jar files - did what I was supposed to but still

Hi all,
I signed 1 jar file that has 1 class which creates a file
on c:\
I signed it like this:
keytool -genkey -keystore myKeystore -alias newKey
keytool -selfcert -alias newKey -keystore myKeystore
jarsigner -keystore myKeystore classes.jar newKey
But web start did not even prompt me for agreement
to run this code, instead I got Security Exception
Any ideas?

Hi,
While searching for answers to my similar problem I stumbled upon your question, looked at your jnlp file and saw that it has <all-permissions> spelled wrongly.
My problem (which I have now solved) is that I signed all .jar files, but forgot to sign a .zip file :)
Best of luck,
David Durrant

Did what I was instructed too, but flash player failed

So, for some reason, my adobe flash
player will not work any more. Have tried to uninstall it, reinstall it, but here is the path of steps I tried,
A. Un-installed all adbobe products.
B. Went to adbobe.com
C. Clicked on Download flash player.
D. Was instantly taken to this webpage
http:\kb2.adbobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
E. Each time I click on "download flasher player"
F. It returns/refreshes http://kb2.adbobe.com/cps/ooo/6b3af6c9.html
over and over again
It is a loop. I'm stuck notthing else works.
i did find a page on adobe.com to where I could directly download an "flash player".exe file
but that did not work either. Tried to download it to desktop/my documents etc but no luck.

I don't know who instructed you to uninstall all Adobe products; that is certainly not prerequisite to upgrade Flash Player.
It is recommended to uninstall old Flash Player versions, with the uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Next install download and install the newest Flash Player; you can download the offline installer for your system from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
If you have more problems or questions, please specify your operating system and web browser (including 32bit / 64bit).

HT201394 I have an iPhone 5, updated to iOS 8 and all was great. Updated to iOS 8.0.2 and I lost my cellular connection! Did the complete opposite of what it was supposed to do! HELP!!!

I have the original iPhone 5 (the one released before 5C & 5S) and when I updated to iOS 8 everything was working well and it was great! Last night I updated to iOS 8.0.2 and it does the complete opposite of what it was supposed to do! I lost my cellular connection! It keeps saying "Searching..." in the top left hand corner of my phone where my cellular network is supposed to be. What's going on Apple? Why did I lose my cellular connection when the update was supposed to "fix" lost cellular connections for the iPhone 6. If the update was supposed to fix a higher leveled phone then why was my lower leveled phone affected??? I need answers and I need proper help to deal with this ordeal.

I ALSO just updated my brand new iphone 6 to 8.0.2, and I ALSO had my cellular service BRICKED.
All I get on the signal meter is Verizon 1x. Every so often 3G would popup and you could send a text (no calls though) but it's gone in seconds. So I can't send texts or make phone calls.
This phone worked immediately before the update and stopped working immediately after the update.
My neighbor has a iphone 5S. He updated to 8.0.2 lat week and had no problems UNTIL just this morning, when his phone stopped working - no cellular voice or data. He downgraded back to ios 8.0 but his cellular service never came back.
Called verizon - was told there were no service outages and then I got transferred to tech team.
Tech team had do all the Apple troubleshooting steps but nothing more. So they said "take it back."
So this BRAND NEW iPhone 6 phone is BRICKED because of iOS 8.0.2.
Thanks Apple!

Three questions about signed jar file and applet

I use three signed jar file. Each of them signed by different certificate. First of JARs contain applet class. When I start applet from html page I see message “This applet was signed by…… but Java cannot verify it… Do you trust…?”. All times I press “Yes I trust” and after this questions applet stop to work end exit. If I use only one certificate for signing of three JARs then applet continue to work after question. 1) What should I do to fix this bug? 2) Is it any method to check from applet that user press Trust button? Is it any method to emulate work of SecurityManager to check that Certificate object is trusted (I want do call some method check(Certificate) and if certificate is not trusted I want to see message with question: “Do you want to trust this certificate” and so on)?

Hello Jarman,
1. If I have a signed jar file, then as long as the
certificate is recognised as trusted that applet can
run as a fully trusted application on the client
machine. So I should not have to add lines such as
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission
"readFileDescriptor", "read" ;
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission
"writeFileDescriptor", "write" ;
to my java.policy file. true/false ?true
2. If I am running a signed jar file in the Java
plugin then I do not need to have a verisign or thawte
certificate (however to allow my certificate to be
accepted I do have to import it into the cacerts file
on the client machine). True/false?true
3. Following on from question 2, if I want to be able
to run an applet on a client machine, without messing
around with ANY files on those machines, I need a
verisign or thawte certificate. True/false?true
4. (And finally) Apart from a security exception
saying that I need to add one of the lines like those
of question 1, is there any way I can get other debug
information as to why the signed jar file is not being
recognised as signed?No. This could be a problem of importing your certifcate into the wrong place.
The information on the following link is a little bit dated but it helped me to successfully install a testcertificate and sign an applet with it.

Signed applet : problem signing jar files that are in build path

Hello,
I have a problem while trying to create an ftp applet.
I use org.apache.commons.net.ftp and i build path for commons-net-1.1.4.jar and then i build my classes.
When i create a jar file with my classes and after signing it, it works under eclipse but not on a web page.
I had signed commons-net-1.1.4.jar before to build the path in eclipse but commons-net-1.1.4.jar is not in my jar file.
What is the way to sign applet correctly even if some jar ressources are in eclipse build path.
Thank you

You were right!!!
I'm not sure what to write down in the formsweb.cfg (configuration file) , following the instructions on the on-line help of Developer Forms 10g , in step 9..
The step 9 says...
Because in this release the JACOB code is in an external Jar file and not incorporated into frmwebutil.jar, it needs to be downloaded. To do this, change the WebUtilArchive setting to read: webUtilArchive=/forms/webutil/frmwebutil.jar,/forms/webutil/jacob.jar
The doudt is pointed to the fact that the frmwebutil.jar isn't in the ORACLE_HOME\forms\webutil path but it is ORACLE_HOME\forms\java path.
Also , these paths referenced in webUtilArchive are physical paths in a Unix system or they are logical paths in a url?

Turning off jar cache causes classnotfound with signed jar files

Hi,
I have a problem with applet signed jars when the java cache is turned off.
With the cache turned off, I get a class not found for the first class it attempts to use from the signed jar file from an applet.
If I turn the jar caching on, all works perfectly with no other changes.
Anyone have any ideas? This is java 6u16.
Thanks

Icons in JAR file did not appear on runing web form

Hi
I am testing web application built using Forms6i with path 9. I configured the form server to run as a servlet and I put all the icons used in the application in JAR file I name it ICONS.JAR, I put this file in \FORMS60\JAVA\ directory.
I made the following configurations:
In Apache listner configuration file httpd.conf :
Alias /forms60java/ "D:\orant\forms60\java\/"
In forms confuguration file formsweb.cfg:
imageBase=CodeBase
archive=icons.jar
serverApp=Default
in registry.dat file:
default.icons.iconpath=
default.icons.iconextension=gif
In base HTML file:
<PARAM NAME="imageBase" VALUE="%imageBase%">
<PARAM NAME="serverApp" VALUE="%serverApp%">
<PARAM NAME="CODEBASE" VALUE="/forms60java/"
The forms are run with nao problem except that the icons do not appear. I see java console on the client machine, and I see that ICONS.JAR was downloaded and saved in jar cache.
In Apache access log file I see that there is an attempt to load the icons from the path <server_name>/forms60java/icon_name.gif but not from the archived JAR file.
What could be goes wrong or missing?

Hi Amin,
Maybe the icons.jar file doesn't contain the files (try opening it with WinZip or some other tool and verify the files are indeed there).
Maybe some case sensitivity issues are at play?
Or the GIF files are the wrong size so maybe you're only seeing the transparent upper left corner of alle the icons displayed on your iconic buttons or whatever.
Just a couple of wild shots (cause it doesn't appear you're having errors - but check all your log files including error_log)

Jesper

URLClassLoader + dynamically loading signed jar files

I have an applet that does not know all of the jar files it will need to load at startup.
I would like to dynamically load these signed jar files using the URLClassLoader, however it does not recognize these jar files as being signed and I get java.security.AccessControlException: access denied errors.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try this classloader for loading the jars, it should to the trick:
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLClassLoader;
import java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory;
import java.security.AllPermission;
import java.security.CodeSource;
import java.security.PermissionCollection;
import java.security.Permissions;
public class AllPermissionsClassLoader extends URLClassLoader {
    public AllPermissionsClassLoader (URL[] urls) {
        super(urls);
    public AllPermissionsClassLoader (URL[] urls, ClassLoader parent) {
        super(urls, parent);
        System.out.println(parent);
    public AllPermissionsClassLoader (URL[] urls, ClassLoader parent, URLStreamHandlerFactory factory) {
        super(urls, parent, factory);
    protected PermissionCollection getPermissions (CodeSource codesource) {
        Permissions permissions = new Permissions();
        permissions.add(new AllPermission());
        return permissions;
}

How can i add update signed jar file

I am developing an applet which requires signing to run in a browser.
I am developing supporting classes. But these class files have to be added
to the jar. Isnt it??
But to test the applet i need to load it in the browser each time i modify the class files. So the jar file need to be updated every time. But an
IOError
is being displayed when i try to update the signed jar file.
How can i update signed jar file?? Or is there any othe way to test the signed applet during development??

How can i update signed jar file?You can't, the signature is there to make sure the content of the jare hasn't been messed
with.
Either recreate the jar and re sign it or set up a policy during testing.

I am trying to link coc between a new ipod and my iPad. The iPad was the old device. I did as I was supposed to by logging in the Game Center, then opening coc, and went thru the tutorial. The Game Center keeps trying to load the new village on my iPad and not the other way around. It basically is trying to make my old village the new village, meaning I lose a lot of progress. How do make it combine the 2? If I cannot, is there a way to remove the new village off the Game Center and add the one I want to be saved? Thank you.

You'll have to contact the app developer for help with this.

Is it possible to verify a signed jar-file from a program?

Is it possible to verify a signed jar-file from a program

Is it possible to verify a signed jar-file from a
program
(using some API) likewise jarsigner does?Hi,
You would have to open the jarfile, read each jar entry and for each of them do a getCertificates() and then in turn verify each certificate with the public key of the enclosed certificates in the jar file.
An easier solution would be to use the verify flag of the JarFile or JarInputStream.
Hope it helps..
Cheers,

I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information, his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go. Is there any way to eliminate his iCloud account and make mine the primary without rebooting it back to factory settings? There was an update, I believe, that I couldn't install because i didn't have his password that is what made me aware that his acct. was still active. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

Hey linfrommi,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:
