Subject: java.security.Security.insertProviderAt() in appletviewer

Hi,

I am trying to get an applet that makes SSL connections working in the
appletviewer. The third party toolkit that I am using must be nominated as
a security provider using java.security.Security.insertProviderAt().
However, the appletviewer's security manager denies me the right to do this.
Even if the applet is signed.

Is there any way I can get around this restriction? Is there another approach?

Thanks,
Mike Hogan.
