Hi all!
I was wondering if someone still has the URL to that guide written by someone on this forum for signing jars?
Also, I am wondering if anyone knows if you HAVE to buy a certificate with verisign or thawte in order to be able to deploy signed applets?
Any help appreciated!
Hi
I know kev glass had a section on his website as part of his Java webstart tutorial that covered some of it. As for having a verisign/thwate cert, this is probably the case if you don’t want the popup saying ‘i don’t know this certificate chain’ in jws/browser of choice, but it does work without one.

This worked for me: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=54&thread=383859
And it shows how to “make” a certificate without having to buy one, of course, this may deter people from trusting your Applet.
You could try my article about it [ http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/KeyGuard.asp ] which also has a tool to actually do it all from my KeyGuard applet.
