Hi !

Actually, I'am trying to sign a Applet (using JavaKey). For this,
I followed the 'Signed Applet Example'. Thus, first I got a copy of
Duke's certificate,
then I used the javakey to create the identity 'Duke' in the
identitydb.obj file and to import
Duke's certificate into the database (javakey -c Duke true and javakey
-ic Duke Duke.X509).
Nevertheless, when I load the 'signedPluginEx.html', I already obtain
the "writeFile:caught
security exception" message and the footmp file into the directory tmp
isn't created.
However, the file 'identitydb.obj' is correctly created (in the current
directory).
I think that this file must be copied in a particular directory to be
recognized by Netscape Communicator !
But the documentation doesn't specify this point.

A last information : I use Communicator v4.05, the Java Plug-in and the
JDK 1.1.6. The tests are been
executed uder Windows NT 4.0 and Solaris (the same problem appears).

Thank You very much for your help.

Sincerly.
