    Subject: To gain the permission to read local file or print

I have 2 Digital IDs from Verisign. One for Netscape Object Signing, and the
other is for the Microsoft Authenticode.
When I make and use Jar for Netscape, Cab for Internet Explorer, there is no
problem.
Simply, only have to do is granting the certificate.

But when I try to make jar for HotJava or appletviewer, I cannot understand
what I must do.
I made and signed the jar thanks to javakey example (duke)
But, when I try to access local resources, it displays security exceptions.
Finally, I found that the certificate was not footprinted.

Then,

When the user want to use my jar for access local resource, must he
footprint my certificate
and arrange permissions every time ??
If I can get certificate from well-known CA's (such as Verisign) there can
be no problem like netscape jar or microsoft cab.
I can see CA list from HotJava Browser.
How can I reduce this mess ?

Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks.
