I have a java applet on my site and there is a security warning that
pops up when users try to run it saying it has an invalid certificate.
How to fix this?

Howdy jude1-ga,

Was this java applet developed for you or did you download it from someplace?

Howdy jude1-ga,

Your best route is to go back to the person(s) that developed the Java applet
in question.

They ahould review the following information for the process of getting your
Java applet properly "signed," if they don't know how to already.

"How to Sign Applets Using RSA-Signed Certificates"
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/rsa_signing.html

"Signed Applet using JDK Plugin"
http://personal.vsnl.com/sureshms/javasign1.html

"Java Applet Signing Guide"
http://www.brendonwilson.com/resources/projects/signed-java/JavaAppletSigningGuide.doc

Regardless of the method that is used, the process we are describing is not
an "end user" type of thing, and really should be done by the developer.

If the above will do as the answer to your question, please tell me and I
will post it as such.  Thanks!
