Wrong timezone reported to DB

Mike KutzOct 26 2021

I'm sure this is a problem with the browser only. I hope someone can help.
Firefox Mobile is reporting the wrong timezone to APEX.
Edge Mobile reports correctly. Both Firefox PC and Edge PC report correctly.
Web search says "turn fingerprint off". I don't see how. I tried what I thought would work (will retest). but that didn't work.
Also, the website suggest that the time zone that will be report is UTC +0. Mine is reporting 1 hr off (-4 instead of -5).
How do I fix? (my google fu is lacking)
Thanks
MK

The matter of the driver being on the run-time class-path of the applet, and its ability to connect to 'home' or remote servers is quite different.

The driver will need to be on the class-path for either. To achieve that, add the mssqlserver.jar to the archive attribute of the applet element.

To connect to a DB on a remote server, the applet would also need to be digitally signed (by you) and accepted (by the end user).

Nicely done!

If they gave prizes for worthless advice here, you'd definitely get one.

See the Generating and Verifying Signatures lesson (http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/security/apisign/index.html) of the Java Tutorial.

I suggest you have your applet talk to a servlet. The servlet actually talks to the database (and holds the userID/password). This way, you aren't embedding the userID/password to the database in the applet where someone might get it and have direct access ot your database (a security concern).

I also suggest you review your design to see if separation of concerns might be a better choice (model view controller (MVC) design).
