[pve-devel] new vnc 1.2 works fine now with http://fqdn....

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

I found this on the net:

"
Java 7 Update 21 was released on April 16 2013 and caused our applet to start showing this warning dialog.

Per the release notes: As of JDK 7u21, JavaScript code that calls code within a privileged applet is treated as mixed code and warning dialogs are raised if the signed JAR files are not tagged with the Trusted-Library attribute.

To fix this edit your manifest.mf file and add a line like this:

Trusted-Library: true
You should be very careful before doing this though. If your signed applet can be called from javascript then a malicious user can potentially do harmful things on your users' computers.

One quick way to secure your applet is to prevent it from being run on other websites. Do this by putting code in the init() method that looks at getCodeBase().getHost() and throws an exception if it does not match your site.

Our Applet is signed, but seem that oracle does not like our certificate. 
You can even install the CA as trusted CA, does not help. 

But you can set java "Mixed Code" option to 

"hide warning and run with protections" 

IMHO, oracle does not really know what they do. 
I mean, if a user wants to trust in something , why does he need to answer 
that question again and again? 

And why is the code mixed? (I sign the whole applet?) 

Any insights are welcome.
