    Subject: Signed applet example - another newbie question

    Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1998 12:25:01 -0400

I have read all of the messages in vol. 3 of the Q&A archive and I am still
having problems.

I can successfully run the signed applet example using appletviewer;
however, running the signed applet example in either of the two above listed
browsers still catches the exception. I have no doubt that this works but
feel that the example has left out a step for the NT version or that I have
missed something.

Setup:
Platform: Windows NT 4.0
Browsers: IE 4.0 and Navigator 4.0
Java software: JDK1.1.6 and Plug-in 1.1.1
URL: http:/java.sun.com/security/signExample/
Identitydb.obj path: c:\users\default

Successfully running the example in appletviewer implies that steps 1 thru 3
of the index.html were indeed performed. The plug-in is installed as I get a
Java console when I run IE instead of the MS JVM.

Here is the java console listing for both pluginEx.html and
signedPluginEx.html accesses:
Opening http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/writeFile.class no proxy
Opening http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/writeFileBeanInfo.class no
proxy
Opening
http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/sun/beans/infos/writeFileBeanInfo.c
lass no proxy
Opening http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/signedWriteFile.jar no
proxy

Is there supposed to be an identity.database entry in the
$<JDK-DISTRIB>\lib\security\java.security file?

I'm really stumped at this point and could use your advice/experience.
Please, no vague answers as seen in the Q&A archive. If need be, I'll even
purchase tech support to get this working.

Cheers,
