Problem
You recieve the error message "Failed to validate certificate." when attempting to launch the Java Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEPM) Remote Console after migrating or installing SEPM 12.1 Release Update 2 (RU2).
Error
Application error: "Failed to validate certificate."
Clicking Details opens a more verbose error which includes the following: "InvalidKeyException: Wrong key usage".
Cause
This error is caused by a problem in the version of Oracle Java bundled with the SEPM. The problem is described in the following Oracle articles: 7197652 : Impossible to run any signed JNLP applications or applets, OCSP off by default and 7198537 : Certificate validation fails with error "Wrong key usage".
Solution

- Click Start>Control Panel
- Open the Java (32-bit) control panel
- Click Advanced>Security>General
