system wide "Trusted certificates"

[Andreas Moroder]

To: comp.lang.java.security
Hello,

we have a Oracle forms application running with the sun JVM.
When we start the app we are asked to accept two signed certificates.
When we say ok we can see them in the user certificates store in
"Trusted certificates" ( Vertrauenswnrdige Zertifikate ).
Is there a way to import them as administrator the way they are "Trusted
certificates" for the system and not only the user ?

Thanks
Andreas

What happens if you import them into cacerts and propagate that copy
of cacerts around?

Unless you can modify the run command for the JVM, no. Roedy's
workaround might work but it sounds like you're importing certificates
into the users keystore (not root certs). The keystore is a file called
.keystore. There is one for each user - on Windows it's in C:|Documents
and Settings\user_name\
