one other note to add.
if you're still having problems, check to make sure your
identity database is in the correct directory. to do this,
start the java plugin control panel:

On Windows: From the Start menu, choose the Programs option. Then
choose the Java Plug-in Control Panel menu item.

On Solaris: You can run the Control Panel using the command:
~/.netscape/java/ControlPanel

once in the control panel, turn on the option to view the Java Console.
then try running the signed applet example. while the applet is running,
the console should start displaying output, including the location
of the user's home directory. make sure that your identity database resides
in that directory.

we noticed that, while running our own tests, javakey put the identity
database in C:\identitydb.obj, whereas the user's home directory
was somewhere else entirely.

thanks,
charlie
