Description David Juran 2011-08-03 08:44:25 UTC
Description of problem:
There seems to be applets out there (e.g. the WebEx meeting) that is signed with the VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority but openjdk does not recognise this as a trusted CA. Is this intentional?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-59.1.10.3.fc15

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. firefox http://www.webex.com/lp/jointest/?elq=809f7a3332a347a0a231ef24c8b40d9c
2. Try to join the meeting
3. Watch the warning

Seems the JVM gets it's certs from /etc/pki/java/cacerts

Our authoritative source for trusted root CAs is Mozilla; this root is not in there, so we don't ship it.  Not much more we can do about this; we don't want to start vetting individual CA roots in Fedora.

Comment 4 David Juran 2011-08-05 12:10:29 UTC
Fair enough.
 For what it's worth, I've now filed the same question with mozilla in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676799
