JSSE 1.0.3_02 jar files expired as of 04/16/2003
Author: markhays May 28, 2003 11:33 AM

I am downloading jsse.jar, jcert.jar, and jnet.jar 1.0.3_02 global version as part of my applet, and I am receiving java.security.cert.CertificateExpiredException: NotAfter: Wed Apr 16 19:59:59 EDT 2003. My JVM version is 1.3.1_01, and I have also tried JVM 1.3.1_08 without success. My applet main jar file is signed and not set to expire for two years. In addition, my applet jar file is installed successfully, but none of the JSSE jar files install.

My applet works fine using JSSE version 1.0.2. I noticed that JSSE 1.0.2 does not contain a digital signature, so that would explain why I am not getting CertificateExpiredException for that version. As a test I removed the .SF and .RSA signature files from the JSSE jar files and everything works fine.

Based on the information I have gathered it seems that truly JSSE 1.0.3_02 shipped with signatures which have expired by 4/16/2003. Has anyone experience this problem????
