JRE 1.7u45 unable to load an applet containing some unsigned entries

I am getting the following error while loading a java applet on JRE 1.7u45.

    java.lang.SecurityException: com.sun.deploy.net.JARSigningException:

This applet indeed contains one unsigned entry. However I cannot get this entry signed immediately because of third party technical issues.

The same applet worked fine on JRE 1.7u40, but apparently there has been some change in JRE 1.7u45 adding some additional security features.

I tried to reduce the security level in Java to medium. This works on MAC but unfortunately does not work on windows.

Any suggestions/workaround to get the applet to work would be greatly appreciated!

"I cannot get this entry signed immediately because of third party technical issues." What 'issues'? One workaround is to sign those resources yourself. – Involution 18/10, 2013 at 3:4

Hi Andrew, Thanks for your response. signing myself is not an option in my case. – Shari 18/10, 2013 at 4:26

Oracle's notes on security changes. You may also check with the java7u45 release notes. Also is rolling back to java7 update40 an option? – Skiver 18/10, 2013 at 6:24

Did you solve this? I have the same error in self signed jar. Applet is running fine in 1.6 and 1.7.0_b147 But get this same error in 1.7.0_55-b13 – Tatter 5/8, 2014 at 5:39

You have to disable the java temporary files

In windows:

control panel
java
General Tab
Temporary Internet File
Settings button
List item
New Dialog : Temporary Files Settings dialog
disable the option : keep temporary files on my computer.

also works for 1.7_80 Java Plug-in 10.80.2.15 Using JRE version 1.7.0_80-b15 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM – Cheliform 3/12, 2015 at 16:25

To work around this, I just disabled Java cache on endpoint machine and the applet started working fine.

If you are using libraries that are already compiled and packaged into JARs, and signed by the author, you do not have to worry about signing them. But say, you've used someone else's source code (open source hopefully) and have compiled it on your own machine, you must remove the existing signature and re-sign that package. If you are using Java applets, they must be signed now, unless you enjoy a mountain of pain.

Now, this also applies to the packaged libraries within your packaged jar. If they have already been signed, leave them alone. But if you must sign them, make sure you remove any existing certificates from the JAR file before you do so, the same way as your main applet.

Additional information that may help: Your MANIFEST.mf file in all JARs must contain entries for the the properties, as shown in the example below:

Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: *
Permissions: all-permissions
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: * 
Codebase: *
Application-Name: POSInterface

TIP

If you're deploying a bunch of applets to a web application, I like to automate this whole process of modifying the manifest and code-signing with a batch file and text file containing the above properties that need to be in the manifest.mf file, named addToManifest.txt. Here is an example of how it's done:

I had a problem with Java Web Start, where some JAR files contained unsigned resources. I had to delete the unsigned resources from the JAR and then resign the JAR.

Benison answered 21/10, 2013 at 17:18 Comment(0)

I had to uninstall all versions of Java, reinstall the latest version, clear the prompts, then add the website it was having as a trusted site. After that, the Java app loaded fine.
