hi, You only need to install JSS if your applet or the applet you want to use requires JSS.
Getting the following URL (you specified) to display correctly over SSL in FF3 does not require JSS https://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml The SSL connection and applet do not use JSS, so this problem is not JSS related at all. And if you had JSS installed perfectly, it would not not help the above URL to display correctly. so ignore JSS. I assume that http works? If not start there. http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml Since https does not work I would re-read the advice on the page: If your applet is not displaying properly, please check these additional configurations. 1. Enable the JRE through your Web browser 2. Enable the JRE through the "Java Plug-in Control Panel" 3. Clearing your Web Browser Cache If you are unable to perform any of the steps above due to an error, please reinstall the JRE. Download and installation instructions http://www.java.com/en/download/help/6000010300.xml --- Note I do not have a working Ubuntu system. Also its not clear to me that you actually want/need to use JSS. I think you just want to get this URL https://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml working on Ubuntu using FF3. But if you do want to use JSS after getting the above URL working correctly and you are intending to have your own java applet use JSS then here is some tips that may help: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/keystores.html For debugging and testing of your applet that uses JSS you can modify your java.policy file permission java.security.AllPermission; permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "loadLibrary.*"; Which will allow your applet to initialize JSS and allow JSS to load it's dependent NSPR/NSS libraries. When you need to deploy your applet rather than modifying the java.policy file you should sign your applet. http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/plugin/developer_guide/rsa_how.html Also if you want to run an applet that uses JSS on windows, understand that Firefox builds the NSPR/NSS binaries for the OS_TARGET=WIN95 which means you would have to first build JSS for the OS_TARGET=WIN95 and then install. hope this helps, glen Marcin T wrote: > Hello > > I am trying to solve a problem with java applet authentication on > Ubuntu AMD64 in Firefox 3.0 32bit with Java 1.6 32bit. > > This distro doesn't come with JSS package (it took a lot of googling > to actually understand this issue), so I had to install files by hand. > I can see that installation was ok as command runs fine: > > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/firefox32-3/ CLASSPATH=/usr/local/ > firefox32-3/jss4.jar java > org.mozilla.jss.tests.SSLClientAuth . passwords > > However when I try to run a test java applet over SSL connection, I > get ClassNotFound exception: > > https://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml > > This is log from console: > > security: Loading certificates from Deployment session certificate > store > security: Loaded certificates from Deployment session certificate > store > security: Checking if certificate is in Deployment denied certificate > store > network: Cache entry not found [url: > https://www.java.com/applet/testvmDynamicJavaComPopUp819/class.class, > version: null] > network: Connecting > https://www.java.com/applet/testvmDynamicJavaComPopUp819/class.class > with proxy=DIRECT > security: Loading certificates from Deployment session certificate > store > security: Loaded certificates from Deployment session certificate > store > security: Checking if certificate is in Deployment denied certificate > store > load: class testvmDynamicJavaComPopUp819.class not found. > java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: testvmDynamicJavaComPopUp819.class > at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.findClass(AppletClassLoader.java:194) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) > at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadClass(AppletClassLoader.java:127) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251) > at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadCode(AppletClassLoader.java:640) > at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(AppletPanel.java:786) > at sun.plugin.AppletViewer.createApplet(AppletViewer.java:2108) > at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(AppletPanel.java:715) > at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:369) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) > > Any help will be much appreciated > > Best Regards, > Marcin > _______________________________________________ > dev-tech-crypto mailing list > dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto > _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
