How to automatically import digital certificates

  • Follow


Hi!

I am working in a big company and we get a new java-program which has 
a digital certificate. They told me, it is impossible to let the users 
click on "Accept always" or something like that, so I need to import 
this certificate automatically. Does anybody know how to do this with 
Suns VM and with Microsofts VM? (Yes we DO have both VMs...) We are 
using Windows XP as an operating system. I looked through the web and 
didn't find anything. Looks like the certificate-memory should not be 
accessible by other programs...

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

By "digital certificate" do you mean a signed applet or web start app? 
If so, to accept the cert into the client computer from the server side 
  would require cracking Java security.

the other approach is to have a corporate-wide  *.policy file.
