I don't have a PC on which to install Java 8, so I too was trying to figure out how to get this updated cacerts file and install into my copy of VT, but without finding a PC to install it on or trying to run the Java install on my Mac. Thanks to the info provided by SomeJoe7777 and JPP, plus some poking around I figured it out...
Here's what I did on my Mac:
- I downloaded the Linux installation from java.com.
- in the distribution, under jre1.8.0_161/lib/security there's a file named "cacert" dated Dec 19/17
- Control-clicked on the VisibleTesla application icon on my Mac, to open the application package, click on Show Package Contents
- drilled down the Package contents hierarchy, to Contents/Plugins/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security
- in that folder I found the file "cacerts" dated Jul 12/15.
- renamed the existing cacerts to cacerts-old
- copied the new cacerts file from the Linux distribution to this folder in the VisibleTesla package
- close the VT package folders/windows; launch the VT app,
- in the Prefs pane, click on Test Delivery to send a test email notification
--> it works again!
hope this helps other fellow Mac users without a PC
Awesome, thank you so much for the detailed instructions!
I just ran through them and it fixed my issue with message delivery as well
Just a quick comment that I downloaded the Linux_x64 version from the following site:
