Security Warning: Unsigned JNLP #24

Open trezy opened 10 years ago

trezy commented 10 years ago

When running the JNLP file I get a Security Warning from Java advising me of the risk of running an unsigned applet. I know it's fine but I'm trying to write a quick batch script to run Minecontrol, then Minecraft so I can start them from Steam in "Big Picture Mode". Could you look into signing the application appropriately? Thanks!

I'll look into what trusted certificates I have that will work with Minecontrol -- thanks

Lots of users facing launch issues with Java's latest security updates interfering with running the app. Looking into Getdown as an alternate launcher: https://github.com/threerings/getdown

For the application blocked problem there is a temporary solution to add http://update.joshjcarrier.com http://beta.joshjcarrier.com as a trusted site for instructions at http://java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml

As of jre7 update 51, the default security setting is "high" which blocks self-signed applications like Minecontrol. Lowering the default allows the app to run. http://www.java.com/en/download/help/appsecuritydialogs.xml#selfsigned
