Re: Addressing CVEs in 1.13.0

I was able to run snyk test locally on OWS and ITW codebase and it has generated reports. Will try to fix the vulnerabilities.

Re: Addressing CVEs in 1.13.0


@Janak - I have a similar concerns as John above. Based on my own experience, these seem to be consistent with the results I see for OpenWebStart using Snyk as the SAST. Would you be still be willing to verify and fix the findings, as offered above? Would love to have these issues resolved ...

Re: Problems installing the signer.

1. So you were able to install OWS successfully.

2. Then you launched your Jnlp file with OWS.

3. OWS downloads resources and verifies the signing certificate and show the Security Dialog asking to trust the application.

4. You choose "Always Trust" and click on the Run button.

5. Your ...

Re: Problems installing the signer.

Hi,

Just to clarify:

1. You installed OWS by running the installer OpenWebStart_windows-x64-x64_1_13_0.exe

2. Your are saying that during the last step of installation " it says that a page will open so it can be marked as trusted and so on"
I am not clear about this. The last screen of installer ...

Re: Pass additional parameters to vm used by javaws

In addition to the VM arguments specified in the JNLP file, you can provide additional arguments through the environment variable JAVAWS_VM_ARGS. If any argument you add is not included in the list of valid VM arguments recognized by OWS, it must first be added to the JVM argument whitelist in the ...

Re: Pass additional parameters to vm used by javaws

You can pass a JVM argument to the JVM that starts the App specified in the Jnlp file in the following ways:

1. In the Jnlp file:


<<j2se version="1.8*" java-vm-args="-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd"/>


2. In the env var JAVAWS_VM_ARGS

3. You can specify JVM args for a particular Jnlp file ...

Re: Sporadicall error "Missing Ressource: error.initialConfig_de"

When OWS is run for the first time it creates C:\Users\USERNAME.config\icedtea-web and C:\Users\USERNAME.cache\icedtea-web directories and files under them. So, when OWS has never been executed before on a machine and two Jnlps are started simultaneously with OWS, race conditions can occur when the ...

Re: Java 25 suggested

To make OWS compatible with Java 25 is going to be a major effort as some classes on which OWS depends have been removed from Java 23 and 24. Given our limited resources, we will undertake the effort only if we have adequate sponsorship from the users of OWS.

Can you please tell me which company do ...

Which version OWS are you using?

Did you set the proxy using the itw-settings tool?

From the logs below , it seems OWS is starting your app. OWS must be downloading Jnlp and Jars through the proxy. What happens if you cut off access to the proxy? Does OWS throw an error while downloading Jnlp and ...
