Hi Ray,
It is not really a bug, but a change from Oracle in "security" restrictions.
See the cause, workaround, etc, here : http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml

ATM we are trying to purchase a certificate, but sadly it's not easy.
Comodo did not validate us for phone directory problem. StartSSL did validate us, but their certificates can't work with Java...
However, if you can buy a digical certificate for yourself, then you will be able to "sign" the JARs with the command jarsigner, available in Java JDK.

Finally, the "cert" version here was self-signed. Which means no Certificate Authority validated it.
It worked well for some years, but not anymore and I'll remove it from downloads.

I looked at the link, i had already added my website to the execption list in the java in my control panel, its set as http://mylink.co.uk/chat
chat is the folder where i added all the download files. and i still get
Connection to chat server in progress...
Can''t to continue due to security parameters.
i see the java applet i added the exeption yesterday before i contacted you.

You pasted a wrong link, http://mylink.co.uk/chat is a domain parking page ^^

[Ray]

sorry my mistake i pasted tottaly wrong thing lmao heres the link to where i have put the chat applet (i am using an ip at the moment till i get the domain name)
http://109.158.41.28/chat and the print screen attachment i posted was the error i recived onece i had allowed the exeption to my java in control panel

[Ray]

I'm doing some work at the moment on my server, so the link might not load, so i uploaded it to a free webhosting for now wich still gives the exact same error the link is here http://raystest.webatu.com/Coolsmile/chat/

Any idea how to fix this, I just love the look and the features I use to use this a while back it will be cool to use again

Hi Ray,
I checked, and it seems there were a few wrong steps.
First, I think you have put on your site chat-applet-da.zip (which is different from chat-applet-cert-da.zip)
Also, you have not provided any IRC server.

How to correct :

• Unzip chat-applet-cert-da.zip and upload it on your site
• Edit index.html to add a server. For example :

    <PARAM name="server" value="irc.freenode.net">
    <PARAM name="port" value="6667">
    <PARAM name="ssl" value="0">

or, with SSL :

    <PARAM name="server" value="irc.freenode.net">
    <PARAM name="port" value="7000">
    <PARAM name="ssl" value="1">

• Before trying again, just clear both the Java cache and your browser cache, because the previous version might still load :)

1) https://www.java.com/en/download/help/plugin_cache.xml
2) https://www.java.com/en/download/help/webcache.xml

That should be ok.

But again, the Coolsmile available for download now has no digital certificate, and every guest on your site would have to change their own Java settings, like you did, to run the chat anyway.

Finally, if your really like it, you may install the Coolsmile client as a desktop software. There is a Windows installation available, without any certificates hassle ;)
