OK, we are ready to release our (Sun security model) JavaKey based signed
applet using the Java Plug-in 1.1.1.

HOW DO WE DISTRIBUTE THE REQUIRED IDENTITYDB.OBJ FILES THAT EACH USER MUST
HAVE WITHOUT PISSING THEM OFF. AT THE PRESENT TIME WE KNOW OF NO DOCUMENTED
WAY THAT THE NON-TECHNICAL END-USER CAN INSTALL OUR PUBLIC KEYS ON THEIR
SYSTEM WITHOUT REMOVING OTHER PUBLIC KEYS FOR OTHER APPLETS THAT THEY MIGHT
BE RUNNING.

Please don't tell me this is fixed in JDK 1.2. We need a solution to deploy
our JDK 1.1 applet today!

If we don't have a solution within one month we will be forced to have to
revert to Microsoft's solution.
