New Network Solutions ssl certificate might cause problems with applets
February 7th, 2007 — 12:49am
Network Solutions switched it’s top level certificate authority from GTE to AddTrust.. That’s fine if your web application doesn’t use any applets. AddTrust is not included in Java certificate chain prior to Java 1.5. So, if your clients have old version of java installed, they will keep getting a security warning each time they invoke applet on your secure web page. It’s not documented anywhere on Net Solutions’ site.
