When our
applet loads on our HTTPS website, the JRE is rejecting the website certificate, saying it does not recognize the Certificate Authority (which is Thawte). Internet Explorer is happy with the certificate.
With tracing turned on, I can verify the JRE is checking the certificate authorities of IE, but for some reason rejects all of them. The trace shows this:
security: Certificate has failed the verification with the Internet Explorer ROOT certificates
security: Invalid certificate from HTTPS server
We've tested several versions of JRE 7 and the latest version of JRE 8. All of them reject the certificate authority. This happens on various versions of Windows and Internet Explorer.
Please note that I'm not referring to the certificate used to sign the applet. The JRE is happy with that certificate.
What can I do to further investigate this issue?
Thanks,
Rob
