Netscape 6 root certificate
Mario
I'm trying to verify a signed applet (signed with Netscape signtool 1.3)
with Netscape 6, but
the following error appers in my java
console:java.security.cert.CertificateException: Unable to verify the
certificate with root CA
The Certificate I use for signing .jar file was generated by a Netscape
Certificate Server of my own, and the same signed applet works fine with
Netscape Communicator 4.75.
How can I made my Certificate Authority trusted in Netscape 6 too?
Thanx
Mario

The Netscape Certificate Server has a public http URL which has a button to import the CA's root certificate. With Netscape 6, visit this URL and import the root certificate. If necessary, ask the Netscape CA Server Admin (you? ;) to look up the documentation for importing your public CA root key into browsers.
OR if you have a DER binary version of the CA's public key, put the file on a webserver with this MIME type and create a link to the document. That will trigger the CA import function in the Netscape Personal Security Manager (PSM).
.crt or .cac application/x-x509-ca-cert
