Look at the documentation for the browser you are using, to see if
they support any kind of access control from your Java applet. I
suspect this is not supported in what I'd call pure Java, although
there may currently be scripting ways that people do this.

The JDK 1.1 packages have not yet been fully supported by the browser
vendors. If you'd like to see your browser vendor support JDK 1.1,
write and ask them to do that!

As for access control, we will be delivering ways for you to do fine
grain access control for Java applications and applets, in the next
major JDK release, which is set for early access in summer 1997.

See http://java.sun.com/security for info about Java security.
