X509v3 key usage in JWS 1.4.2

I'm experiencing problem loading signed jar in 1.4.2. The same jar is working fine with JWS 1.0.1. Webstart loads the jar then complain with a message box
"Warning: Failed to verify the authenticity of this certificate because there was an error parsing the certficate. No assertions can be made of the origin or validity of the code. Installation and running this code is not allowed"
Strange enough, if I start the same application in 1.0.1 first and exit. Then start the same application using 1.4.2, it works. However, if I clear the cache and run it on 1.4.2, it ceases to work again. It seems to be some caching issues there.
My question is "Has jws 1.4.2 changed in terms of reading the X509 certificate?" My bet is to do with my x509v3 certificate with a key usage set to
X509v3 Key Usage: critical
Digital Signature, Non Repudiation, Key Encipherment, Key Agreement
Otherwise, I can't really see anything wrong with my certificate.
Any help would be really appreciated

Thanks for the help. I managed to track it down to the certificate extension. I'm wondering if my certificate has key usage " DigitalSignature + Non_repudiation + Key_Encipherment + Key_Agreement", does it mean it's not valid to use that to sign a jar? Or that's just something the JCE provider is not recognising? Thanks in advance if anyone can shed some light.

Sign with certificate with 'non-repudiation' key usage only

Hello,
We are facing a problem validating digital signatures created by our partners with Adobe Reader. When validating the signature, we get the general 'The signer's identity is invalid' error. The Signature properties -> Certificate tab reports a warning "The selected certificate has errors: Not valid for usage".
The key usage extension in the certificate that our partners use for signing contains the only 'non-repudiation' element. Still, the intended usage shown on the certificate summary tab is "Sign document".
The main question is if the problem is related to the specific value of the key usage extension, or it has a different root.
Thanks in advance,
Ken

Hello Steve,
Thank you very much for the document. In the mean time, we've got a permission from our partners to share with you one of the documents we've exchanged with them before. I have uploaded it to Google Docs (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1wk9toh5e7AbWNlVGZoY2thY1U), as the forum doesn't allow me to attach documents to a message. Just in case if you're not familiar with Google Docs, simply go to File->Download menu after opening the link in the browser, and you will be able to retrieve and save the original document locally.
Do I still need to ask them to sign the document you attached above as well?
We really appreciate your efforts in this regard,
Ken Ivanov

Key usage extension on Signature.initVerify method

Hi,
I've a problem with method in object: my application tries to verify all CA-certs stored on a p12 file, but when I added some new certs with key usage extension it never works.
I found on initVerify(Certificate) documentation the following information: If the certificate is of type X.509 and has a key usage extension field marked as critical, and the value of the key usage extension field implies that the public key in the certificate and its corresponding private key are not supposed to be used for digital signatures, an InvalidKeyException is thrown.
Infact if I try to use initVerify with PublicKey (initVerify(PublicKey)), it correctly works.
Unfortunately I don't understand what is the difference between the first check (Certificate) and the second (PublicKey). Can I do a correct check also with Certificate.getPublicKey?
Thanks.

Certificate key usage in standalone CA

I have a problem with a standalone sub CA.
Certificate must be able to sign Outlook mails, encrypt them and sign Word documents, so in certqtp.inc I've changed rgAvailReqTypes parametr for my certificate:
rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_OID)="1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.12, 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.4, 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2, 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.4"
After that key usage field of enrolled certificates have changed to "data ecnryption (20)", but I don't know why. So with this key usage I can sign documents, can ecnrypt mails, but can't sign them (key usage must contain digital signature).
How to change key usage field in standalone CA ??

Hi,
Since you are using standalone CA, certificate templates won’t be used, therefore, you need to configure .inf file to achieve your goal.

X509 certifcate key usage

Hi, How do I determine if a X508v3 ccertifate is a client or server certificate?
I can't find any documentation describing the difference.

Certificate can have extended key usage constraint that says it can be used for
client or server authentication only.
See rfc 3280: http://rfc-3280.rfc-index.net/rfc-3280-41.htm

Problem with criticality of key usage extension

Hi everybody, I'm instaling a subca and I'm submitting the request to a standalone CA. I need to make the key usage extension of the subca certificate critical, to do so after I submitted the request, I run this command
certutil -setextension Request_ID 2.5.29.15
1 @File_Name.txt
(exactly as what is said in the article below), but after the standalone ca issues the request, the key usage extension is not marked as critical.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888180
plaese help me solve this problem, thank you.

after a lot of try and errors I'v found out that when I submit an end entity request to the ca, I can make the key usage extension critical with the said syntax. but when I Submit a subca request to the same ca it detects that its a subca request and kind
of overwrites the criticality for key usage extension.
I think it must have sth to do with subca template that the ca applies on the request by default (when the request is from a subca). as I mentioned before it's a standalone CA, I don't understand why it should use any template at all. how can I change the
default setting for subca template or tell the ca that do not apply any templates?
anyway, here is a copy of my request, thank you

Need advice for Fn key usage in Motion.

I am just beginning my usage of Motion 4 and working through Mark Spencer's book. The book keeps referring you to use the Fn keys. But mine don't work the way they are supposed to. I went into System prefs and selected the use all Fn keys and when I go back into the program to use them I press the fn key and the appropriate Fn key (ex. F5 to open the project pane) and all I get is a beep and nothing happens. If I just use the F-F8 procedure it will just add an f or a 5 etc, into the area at the bottom for the current time. Or if I hit the Fn-F8 it opens iTunes. I know I can work it out by using the long way around. But I know it is easier to use the function keys from experience in the CS4 suites. Is there anything I am not trying or something anyone can recommend to make these work properly?
Thanks,
Scott

That's what I have been counting on. However, when I press F5 for example, it takes whatever is on the canvas and replaces the bounding box with a red rectangle. I am somewhat proficient on a Mac but this is the first issue I have come across.

Special key usage?

Hi.
I am new user to MAC (switch from Windows), I have a question regarding the key located right of the right Apple key. I see it have the same symbol as the return key. I cant figure out the usage of this key. In Word i got a square symbol, in other applications I got a new line?
Best Regards

It's a cross between an enter key, and a carriage return key. Very few applications make use of it as a seperate key, so it usually just behaves like a second enter/return key.

Since latest update, my bookmarked site fails with certificate key usage inadequate, why? (It works fine in windows explorer)explorer

This worked the day before I got the "Gettting Started" screen when I started the browser and still works for co-workers who have not gotten the new version of Mozilla firefox.

That could be a problem with the usage of libPKIX in the Firefox 31 and later releases.
* https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/04/24/exciting-updates-to-certificate-verification-in-gecko/
It is possible to disable this new feature by disabling libPKIX support, but this is not recommended for security and vulnerability reasons.

Problems with basic keys usage

I'm going crazy. Quite often now the following key or keys combinations I use the most often stop working:
- using Shift to select all files between two clicked on items
- using Command to select several individual files
- using Command-c and Command-v for Copy and Paste operations
They stop working as they should sometimes immediately after new boot, sometimes hours after my iMac was already working properly. The only solution so far is to restart the system - but problem accelerates and I need now to restart system twice and sometimes more than twice to get the keys working. Switching keyboard with another one doesn't help, it is definitely a Finder's issue.
Desperately need a solution.

Hi,
Having the same problem here. Every once in a while, Finder stops working. Command F as well as other command keys stop functioning until a restart. Getting worse. Any fixes?

Tab Key Usage

Tab stops are included in TLF but while editing text if the
tab key is pressed it executes the default Flex action of switching
to the next component. I tried searching for a attribute so I could
use the tab key in the way a normal text editor does but I couldn't
find anything. Are we expected to have to capture the tab key input
and insert the tab value ourselves?

Hi,
The default behavior when there are no tab stops before the end of the line is to create a new line exactly as you describe. Please verify that you've specified tab stops.
This is even simpler than the above.
textFlow.tabStops="tabStops="s100 s200"
will create tabs at 100 and 200 pixels.

Any program that toggles fn key usage?

hi, i have an interesting question. I use the f1-f12 keys a lot on my macbook pro to adjust the brightness, volume level, etc. But often I find myself in a program that requires the use of the f1-f12 keys, so I have to hold down the fn button each time I want to do a particular task. For example, final cut pro uses a whole lot of the f1-f12 buttons and it is really annonying when you are working very fast to have to revert back to using that button, not to mention you occassionally get mixed up and turn off the volume or something.
I know you can toggle between special use and standard use for the f1-f12 keys under system preferences, but I'm wondering if there is a program, like caffeine does for the screen saver, that toggles which mode I'm in, so all i have to do is click the mouse or something to change which mode I'm in, instead of always going back to system preferences.
Thanks for reading my little speech.

That's what I have been counting on. However, when I press F5 for example, it takes whatever is on the canvas and replaces the bounding box with a red rectangle. I am somewhat proficient on a Mac but this is the first issue I have come across.

Master-Detail Primar key usage

I am using the Master-Detail wizard in APEX, but am not able to pass the existing Master KEY to be used in my Detail part. and I receive error:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process.
Will appreciate any one who can help,
Mehrdad

For clarification:
I am exclusively selecting (or entering) the data for the Master KEY -- that is being used in detail part --, I get the above mentioned error.
So I am looking for
1- passing the value
and
2- adding to the detail table -- that I get the error
Thanks!

Stick Keys and Mouse Keys usage?

Hi. I'm getting ready to replace my current Dell Laptop with a new laptop. I've been using PC based computer since 1989 but this time I'm seriously considering getting a Macbook shortly after WWDC. I'm just fed up with Windows. I'm paralyzed from the neck down and type with a stick I hold by mouth (mouthstick/typing wand). Currently in WinXP I use StickyKeys and a trackstick (trackpoint) in the middle of the keys to move the pointer and do the clicking (w/clicklock enabled) for clicking and dragging with a usb mouse. Since macbooks don't have a trackstick my current trackstick/mouse combination won't do on the macbook. And I can not move a mouse around.
I assume sticky keys works the same on OS X as on WinXP (one press of a modifier key holds until the combo key/s are press) but will pressing a modifier key twice lock it until the modifier key is pressed again?
One thing I've never been able to do is use the Fn key combinations because stickykeys on WinXP doesn't hold the Fn key for combinations. Does sticky keys on OS X hold or lock the Fn key like the modifier keys?
As for mousekeys on OS X, pressing the "Option" five times everytime I need to move/click the pointer then five more times is a bit much (thats why I use the trackstick/mouse combo rather than mousekeys on WinXP). Is there a quicker way? If sticky keys treats the FN key like a modifier key on OS X to press twice to lock it and once to unlock it that would be a great alternative. Any info is greatly appreciated.

A solution that works well is a HeadMouse from AssistiveWare, seen used by a tetraplegic artist.

Yes, it does.

Yes, it does.

That's one solution. Another is to use VoiceOver to navigate; you can lock the option and ctrl keys so that all VO commands are performed with single key presses, since Sticky Keys will hold the shift or cmd keys.
Yet another is a cheek switch as used by Marie-France Bru. No doubt there are plenty of other adaptations you could try, but those are the ones I know about.
