Sametime Applets will expire on May 18th – Download and install the updated applets now

The certificates which were used to sign the Sametime Applets (Meeting Room client, Sametime Java Connect, Directory Applet, Sametime Links), will expire on May 18th this year.  IBM has been working to resign these applets as quickly as possible.  All of the applets from Sametime 7.0 to 8.0.2 have been resigned with the updated certificate.  If you do not update the applet files on the server, users will see a Java security prompt asking them to approve the execution of the applet.  However, users will still be able to use the applet.

Here’s the best news though.  You do not need to open a support ticket with IBM to download the updated applets.  They are available on IBM Fix Central for immediate download!  For installation instruction and download information, see IBM Technote 1390778.

The Domino Applets will also expire on May 18th. Information on downloading the Domino Applets is available in IBM Technote 1381298.
