Import root CA into Java Web Start

Import root CA certificate into Java Web Start

M. Gallant 01/09/2001

To import a root CA certificate for Java Web Start open the Java Web Start Application Manager, select the Edit/Preferences menu, open the Root Certificates/Certificate Path panel and click "Import..." to import a local root certificate file. The selected root CA certificate will be imported into the C:\Program Files\Java Web Start\cacerts certificate file.
[Note that there is another cacerts file at C:\Program Files\Java Web Start\1.3.0\lib\security\cacerts provided that you installed the JRE along with Java Web Start. If you already have JRE1.3.0 installed when Java Web Start is installed, there will also be a cacerts file at: C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3\lib\security\cacerts. These additional cacerts file are NOT updated, and are used for CA certificate resolution when using the JavaPlugin directly with the browser.]
You will be prompted for a password the first time, and asked to trust the certificate.
