Subject: JDBC with JDK 1.1.5?! More info!!!!!

I ran it with different cert numbers, at first I tried it with the
default of '1'. And it gave me the same error about not liking the cert
number of '1'.

previous email text........

I get the folowing error when running JDBC from Communicator 4.04 on
Solaris 2.5. I compiled the code with JDK1.1.5.

~~~~
Loading JDBC driver oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Connecting to jdbc:oracle:thin:OracleUserId/Passwd@UnixHost:1521:java_db
security.Couldn't connect to 'UnixHost' with origin from ''.
~~~~

Someone at Oracle said I need to use a "signed" applet to allow the jdbc
to connect to a database on a differnet server.

Can you please show me how to make a signed applet with JDBC drivers in
it?

PS: I've gone through some of the signed applet example on:

http://java.sun.com/security/examples/sign/

but I get this Invalid cert number after executing the following
command.

javakey -gs sign_directive_Duke signedjpS.jar
Adding entry: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Invalid cert number (1). Valid numbers are 1 through 0.

THANKS!
