Java blocks my (signed .jar) applet due to security reasons. How do i fix this?

First i would like to say that the .jar does not contain any malicious software or code. It's not harmfull, everything is fine. I signed my .jar and I'm trying to load it into my website using this code:

<applet width="765" height="503" code="Loader.java" archive="HolyDivinity718V1.1.jar" name="Holy Divinity"></applet></p>

But when i run it i get this error:

Application Blocked. Click for details. Your security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running.

The client is a webclient of a game that I'm running. What's the reason that it's getting blocked?

Solution

  • Since recently all self signed java applets are blocked. You can do one of the following things:

    1. Buy and sign your applet with an official certificate
    2. Decrease your security slider to medium
    3. Use the exception site list
    4. Sign your app with a self signed certificate and add your certificate to the java trust store
