Jarsigner: “This jar contains entries whose certificate chain is not validated.”

问题

I get the following error on a self-signed jar:

jar verified.

Warning:
This jar contains entries whose certificate chain is not validated.

Re-run with the -verbose and -certs options for more details.

I signed the jar like this:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\jarsigner" -keystore myKeyStore myJar.jar myAlias

My jar has 2 entry points: One for java web start, and one for an applet.

If I run the jar in a java web start way, it has no incidence.
But if I run the jar as an applet. I get a strong security warning at some point when I try to access a bitmap resource embeded in the jar.

Using the -verbose and -certs options shows a lot of lines. And I don't understand anything of this. This is the output: output.txt (part of the 6307 lines reproduced below).

How to sign the jar file ?

回答1:

Just one line answers you question I guess. And if you look closer you'll see it. Here it is

[certificate is valid from 17/08/11 17:32 to 24/07/11 17:32]

As I may hope, you know that today is not July 24 so you just have to re-sign your app

Thanks Andrew Thompson. I have unsigned my jar file, and found the bug. It's better unsigned you're right about this, because signing makes no point since I don't need to get out of the sandbox.

For the record, the bug was the use of the jnlp.jar library. In order to make it work, I launched the applet using jnlp/applet code instead of a standard tag.

I have exactly the same problem.

There is a change in the validation in the new Java 7 and Java 6 versions. Bug id is : 6861062 java classes_security Disable MD2 in certificate chain validation.

When signing the Jara file , I had some warning message and when executing the command: jarsigner MyTools.jar -verify -verbose -certs

I had the message: X.509, OU=Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority, O="VeriSign, Inc.", C=US [certificate is valid from 29.01.96 01:00 to 02.08.28 01:59] [CertPath not validated: Algorithm constraints check failed: MD2withRSA]

My solution is : - use another version of the JDK to sign and JRE Plugin. - Update your certificate security in order not to use this algorithm.

I hope it will help you.
