Fwd: Re: watching WebEx session on FreeBSD (nearly solved)

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

We are trying to get support for watching WebEx session on FreeBSD;

after tweaking a bit the Firefox 3.0.7 and overcoming a bug in the
FreeBSD diablo-jre-freebsd7.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz package (see below),
now the Java applet is coming down stream to the browser and the webEx
session is started, at least until the point of the Meeting Manager
Window; a real Application or the desktop is only presented as blank
green window in the remote desktop;

a test on a Linux box verified that also the Application is presented;
what could be the reason for this problem in FreeBSD? 

if one compares the system requirements listed in
http://support.webex.com/support/system-requirements.html
it looks like AIX is facing the same problem, while Linux with Sun Java
works fine;

Any help would be highly appreciated; thanks in advance

Follow up:

The problem with 'trustAnchors paramater must be non-empty' was a broken
file /usr/local/diablo-jre1.6.0/lib/security/cacerts (it had only 32
bytes) and I copied it from some other Java:

# cp /usr/local/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/security/cacerts /usr/local/diablo-jre1.6.0/lib/security/cacerts

Now the Java app is down loaded and starts and I can see the WebEx
Meeting Manager Window; if the 'host' shows some file in this, it is
presented as well; but if the 'host' presents some application (the
remote desktop) only a full green window comes up with no icons or
windows in it....
