Java Security Warning

dacian_micle — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:06:37 GMT

Hi,

After installing java7u21 i am facing with a java pop up everytime i log in the PDM system and access Portfolio and Project Management(PPM) --> open a project and switch to "Graphic". If i choose that " I accept the risk and want to run this app" and "Do not show this again for this app", no matter how many i will open after that this pop up won't appear until the next log on in the system.

What kind of certificates do i need to solve this problem and what are the steps when creating the certificate for this?

Thanks,

Dacian M

It looks like you are connecting via HTTPS. Are you using a self signed server certificate? If so, can you install that certificate to your PC in the Trusted Root CA location?

I already installed the self signed certificate in the Trusted Root CA on Citrix servers( i connect to sap system through citrix) but this fixed another warning pop up window that i had before this one.

This is a standard JAVA security warning for unsigned applets and not related to the certificate set up at all. The changes have been introduced by Oracle with Java 7 update 21. According to Oracle

The changes in Java 7u21 are intended to increase security for the end user by encouraging application developers and vendors to identify their applications using a digital certificate issued by a Certificate Authority.

However signing an app is not allways the better approach, as then the app may be able to access data, it was not able to when it was unsigned.
