The ViewONE Digital Certificate

The ViewONE Java applets are supplied with a digital certificate that will be displayed prior to their first usage. Digital certificates are required by all applets that use local disks and offer printing options.

This is a requirement specified by Sun's Java standards. Information about Java and the Java 'sandbox' security model can be found at the Sun Java website.

1. Why does ViewONE need a certificate?

ViewONE's advanced caching engine (which requires disk access) is one of the major building blocks required to achieve the performance and flexibility offered by the applet. Disk access means that a digital certificate is therefore always required for ViewONE to operate correctly.

You can be sure that our applet does not attempt to harm your machine, files, information or setup in anyway. Additionally, as with all certificate owners, we have been vetted by a 'certificate authority', in our case Thawte (www.thawte.com), which is a Verisign company.

2. Using ViewONE with Internet Explorer

If the Applet is run using Microsoft Explorer then you will be provided with an opportunity to accept this certificate when the Applet is started. You need to make sure you tick the "always trust" box (highlighted on the image) so that it does not prompt you again, then click on the "yes" button. See our example below (Windows PC using Microsoft's Java and MS Explorer version 6):

For Sun's Java users the certificate will be slightly different - here's the same configuration but using Sun's JRE (again with the best option highlighted):
