Installing the TC TrustCenter Class 3 CA certificate to the JRE
webCDcreator is
signed by a RSA certificate
issued by
TC TrustCenter.
Currently this certificate authority (CA) is not built into the JRE.
You may import it manually to the CA keystore of your local JRE by
-
Save the certificate
TCTrustCenterClass3CA.txt,
and the Java application
installCA.class
to the same directory.
(If you have the JDK installed, you may compile
installCA.java yourself by "javac installCA.java".)
-
Open a command window (like MS-DOS Prompt, Command Prompt,
xterm, ...).
-
Change to the directory, you copied the above files to.
-
Execute
JREDIR/bin/java installCA TCTrustCenterClass3CA.txt
|
and follow the instructions
("JREDIR" is the base directory of the JRE
used by your local Java Plug-in,
e.g. /usr/local/netscape-6.1/plugins/java2).
-
Restart your browser.
Remark: A developer certificate issued by one of
the already builtin CAs Thawte and Verisign ($200 to $400) would
make the above procedure unnecessary. So if you like webCDwriter
and want to support it ...
