Hi. I'm not sure if this is still the address to send security problems, =
but I hope you can help me.
I have created an applet that uses Novell's JavaBeans to get a user's =
NDS=20
name from the tree. In the process of getting this to work, I experimented=
=20
with signed applets, editing policy files, changing classpath, etc. on =
my=20
machine. Then I downloaded Sun's Java Plug-in. I couldn't get that to=20
work, so I downloaded a couple of different versions. Then I upgraded=20
my Netscape to version 4.07 and tried again, and this time it worked. =
I=20
now have two applets created and compiled on my computer, and copied=20
to our intranet server, so that when I visit their pages in Netscape, =
the=20
applets work completely.
My problem - my computer is the only one that will run these applets. =
I=20
have tried copying the class and JavaBeans to the other computers, =
using=20
the same version of Netscape, downloading both plugin versions, changing=20=

classpath, even copying files such as java.security and java.policy to =
their=20
respective places on the other machine. None of this works. I get=20
'AccessControlException' and 'PropertyPermissionError' when I try to =
run=20
them.
Please help, I have been working on this for over a week with no=20
solution in sight.
