Java Security Warning When Running Applets

Hi,

We are still running MII 11.5, and with JRE 1.7, we get a pop-up with this message using IE8:

Do you want to run this application?  An unsigned application from the location below is requesting permission to run.  Running unsigned applications like this will be blocked in a future release because it is potentially unsafe and a security risk.  Click Cancel to stop this app or Run to allow it to continue.

This message appears to pop-up everytime the user navigates our application.  I know MII 11.5 has been out of support for a very long time, and we cannot just upgrade to MII 14.0, so is there a way to sign the applets?  I believe there is an option to disable this warning via the Java Control Panel, but that is not an option for us at this time.

Thanks,

Todd

Looks like there is a new note about this: http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2040424

Maybe the “Oracle Deployment Rule Sets” option mentioned in the note is a possible solution:

Deployment Rule Set

There is also an earlier note: http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1955567

Looks like there are no plans to deal with the issue for 11.5

I don't recall where exactly they are located in 11.5 but you should be able to find the relevant jars on the server and try signing them yourself.

We know where the .JAR files are located, but how do we sign them, or does SAP already have signed .JAR files for us to use for our version?

Thanks,

I think the JDK comes with a command line tool. If you do a search on google you will find a lot of tutorials about how to sign jar files.
