    Subject: JDK signed certificate

Hi,

I generated a certificate and signed an applet using Javakey. I used the
Plug-in to make Navigator recognize the applet as signed, and to access
the user's file system.

My understanding is that at this time the user must have a copy of the
signer's identitydb.obj file. Will this additional step be necessary in
the future too?

Is there a way to make the browser display its "Java Security" dialog
and/or the signer's certificate when it accesses a signed applet using
Plug-in 1.1? If not at this time, will it be possible in the future to
sign an applet using JDK tools and view the signer's certificate from a
browser?

Thanks.

Jatin
