Re: Digital Signature for MIDlet?

Hi guys,

Well after registered with Verisign i managed to get the certificate and
installed in my keystore. However when i download the application to my
phone, it still prompt the untrusted message like it is previously.
Further checking reviewed that the serial key and fingerprint are
different from the key on the phone.

After consulting the Verisign support, they mentioned that i'll need to
import an intermediate certificate to my keystore in order to get it
working. But after googling through the web and even looking at their
step-by-step guide, i found that only SSL installation need the
intermediate certificate, and can't find any info about it on J2ME signing.

Is the intermediate certificate necessary in the code signing process?
Appreciate it if someone with similar experience can share some limelight.

Thanx
