| « JREF: Quacking like a duck | Security Certificate expiration in Lotus Domino on May 18th 2009 » |
Don't forget that Sametime certificates expiring too!!
See this technote: 21380778. It's not listing all versions, but it says the post will be updated.
Problem
The Lotus Sametime Meeting Server applets are signed with a VeriSign certificate that is valid between 15 May 2006 and 18 May 2009. Therefore, as of May 19, 2009, users who attempt to load any of the Sametime applets, such as the Meeting Room Client or Directory applet, will be presented with a warning dialog stating the following:
"The application's digital signature has an error. Do you want to run the application?"
There is also a note that says:
"The digital signature was generated with a trusted certificate but has expired."
Symptom
For example, this screen capture shows the complete error: Warning - Security dialog
Resolving the problem
The re-signed applets for the following Sametime server versions are now available on Fix Central at the following link:
Sametime 8.0.1 server fix
Sametime 7.5.1 CF2 server fix
IBM is in the process of re-signing all of the Sametime applets for other server versions. As these updates become available, this technote will be updated with direct links to those fixes as well.
It is important to note that this message is simply a warning that is presented to the end users. Once the user selects "Run," the applet loads as expected. This certificate expiration will not cause any functional error within the applets.
