online no grant/deny dialog
Maik Wiege
I'm having a problem with my signed Javascript in NN4. My Scripts are
working fine, while they are on my disk (the URL starts with file://), but
putting it on my server no grant/deny-dialog pops up and I get an Exception
in the Javascript-console.
Now I deleted nearly everything out of my HTML-page, but the same happens.
Here is, what I exactly dit:
This is my index.html:
<html><head></head>
<body
onload="netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalBrowser
Read');" id=1
archive="test.jar">
a</body>
</html>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
I downloaded signtool from netscape and created a test certificate using
this command:
> signtool -G test -d c:\netscape\users\mswiege
This displays this:
Enter certificate information. All fields are optional. Acceptable
characters are numbers, letters, spaces, and apostrophes.
certificate common name: test
organization: test
organization unit: test
state or province: test
country (must be exactly 2 characters): ge
username: test
email address: te...@test.com

Exported certificate to x509.raw and
x509.cacert.

Now I signed my script:
> signtool -k test -J -j test -d c:\netscape\mswiege test
The result:
using certificate directory: e:\netscape\users\mswiege

After coping it on my server and opening the page I get the following
message in the Javascript-console:
JavaScript Error: uncaught Java exception
netscape/security/ForbiddenTargetException ("User didn't grant the
UniversalBrowserRead privilege.")
Please help me
Thank you
