Description
The certificate that was used to sign the VM I-Net Web Client applet expires on February 25th 2017. After this day, users will get a message similar to:
The certificate used to identify this application has expired.
To solve this problem, do the following:
-
Users of VM 8.5.3 should install VM 8.5.3 Patch 004. This patch is available from KB doc P2786.
-
The recommended solution for users of older VM 8.5.x releases is to first install the VM 8.5.3 patch, available from KB doc P2757, then install VM 8.5.3 Patch 004.
-
The recommended solution for users of pre-VM 8.5 releases is to first upgrade to VM 8.5.0, then install the VM 8.5.3 patch and finally install VM 8.5.3 Patch 004.
-
If circumstances prevent you from installing VM 8.5.3 Patch 004, you can use KB doc P2788 to obtain a re-signed applet for VM 8.4.6 ComboHotfix 1 through VM 8.5.2.
-
Until the patch can be installed, you can do one of the following:
-
Add the server URL to the Exception Site List in Java Control Panel (Control Panel -> Java : Security)
-
Press "I accept the risk and want to run this application".
