JRE0050-J72K7 - The option to enable online certificate validation must be locked. - 'Program Files (x86)'
Information
Online certificate validation provides a real-time option to validate a certificate. When enabled, if a certificate is presented, the status of the certificate is requested. The status is sent back as 'current', 'expired', or 'unknown'. Online certificate validation provides a greater degree of validation of certificates when running a signed Java applet. Permitting execution of an applet with an invalid certificate may result in malware, system modification, invasion of privacy, and denial of service. Ensuring users cannot change settings contributes to a more consistent security profile.Solution
If the system is on the SIPRNET, this requirement is NA.Lock the 'Enable online certificate validation' option.
Navigate to the 'deployment.properties' file for Java.
For 32 bit systems:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\deployment.properties.
For 64 bit systems you must check both the 64 bit and the 32 bit files:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\deployment.properties
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\deployment.properties
Add the key 'deployment.security.validation.ocsp.locked' to the deployment.properties file.
