Hello,

I was reading your JDK1.1 - Signed Applet example.

I tried to get your writeFile applet to work on my system, however,
nothing would work.

First, I tried your example:

I downloaded Duke's certificate, Duke.x509

I added him as a trusted identity:

javakey -c Duke true

Then, I associated the certificate with the identity "Duke"

javakey -ic Duke Duke.x509

The applet still threw a Security Exception. The same thing happens in
Netscape.

I also deleted the identity database and ran your DoIt script and the
same thing happens.

I am running WinNT 4.0. with JDK1.1.4

Also, have you successfully gotten this to work with Netscape 4.03?
This is very important to a current project that I am working on. I am
getting Security Exceptions when I try to do RMI. I think that Signing
my .jar file will do away with this problem.

Can you help? I just want it to work!!!

Thank you very much. Tim Kimmet, a curious Java developer...
