Why do I get a "Security information" pop-up window and the message "The application's digital signature has expired" when I load the content of the PLCs Webserver?

FAQ #101811

 

Symptom
When I load the content of my remote PLCs Webserver I get a pop-up window with a security information and following warning: "The application's digital signature has expired". I can now choose between "Run" or "Cancel".



Reason
The certificate (digital signature) of SBC IMasterX_XX_XX file expired on January 3rd 2013. That's why the internet browser is prompting you with this warning, if you're using a version 5_15_02 or older of the IMaster-file.

Solution for applications where the java applet IMasterSaia5_15_02.jar or IMasterXX7_5_15_02.jar is used:
Do download the IMasterSaia5_15_02.jar version 5.15.0229 (with date from the 16.09.2013) stored on our homepage, section PG5 2.0/S-Web editor and do replace the existing .jar files in your project directory and/or to the PCD with the new one.
Do copy also the two files in to the S-Web editor 5.15.02 directory so that this jar files are also used for new projects.
This java applet version 5.15.0229 or later does contain the new certificate.

How to detect the version of the IMasterSaia5_15_02.jar file?
Display the web-editor web page on the browser and do open the java console.
There the version of the java applet is shown as following:



For PG5 2.1. 
Since the version $2.1.053 of PG5 2.1, the two jar files which does fix the problem are installed together with the S-Web Editor 5 and the S-Web Editor 8

Possible solution for applictions where any version of the IMasterSaia/IMasterXX7 applet is used.
