Pinned topic Host On-Demand Certificates

I have a Java Applet jar that is downloaded via a HTML file from Web Browser (Internet Explorer/Chrome). This applet uses the HOD jar files, and we're in the process of upgrading from HOD 5 to HOD 11.0.8. I get following exception when the Host Terminal tries to establish a connection with the remote server. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While searching for the exception I encountered I came across the following link. Hence, I upgraded from HOD 11.0 to HOD 11.0.8, but that didn't fix the problem.

Thanks.

I believe some of the security implementation has changed since way back in HOD 5.  I'm pretty sure that version was from over a decade ago.  Did you recompile your code using the new jar files?  I would imagine you would see some errors if so.  I'm not sure how your code was designed and implemented so I really can't say much more about it.

Thanks
