    Subject: signed applet in Netscape Communicator

Hi,

I created signed applet with javakey from jdk1.1.5.
This applet after downloading has to connect to another computer over
network.
It works fine in HotJava.
But I have to run this applet in Netscape. Netscape gives security
exception and
says that UniversalConnect privilege not enabled.
Could you help me with the next:
1. As I found out I can use Zigbert from Netscape to register my applet
with Netscape.
But I have to receive a certificate from Verisign or someone else or
I have to use
Netscape's Certificate Server. Do you know can I create a
certificate myself on
my computer and then use Zigbert?
2. If I will generate certificate with Security API inside my applet
can I run the applet in Netscape or I will still have the same problem
with connection to another computer over network in Netscape like I have
with the certificate generated by javakey?
3. Is Netscape going to support certificate generated by javakey?

Thank you very much?
--Alex
