Dear james,
This is regarding downloading the applet. See when we are using an applet to
authenticate the user to acces the system. certain sensitive information are
getting cached in memory. This is very much visible to the user when he is
using JAVA CONSOLE TO SEE THE MEMORY DUMP (FROM BROWSER POINT OF VIEW).
KINDLY THROW SOME LIGHT ON THIS ISSUE AND KINDLY LET ME KNOW HOW TO AVOID
THIS SECURITY PROBLEMS.
HOPE U WILL CONSIDER THIS ISSUE.
EXPECTING UR REPLY ON THIS ASAP.
