I have just read the article on signed applets on the Java Developer
Connection web site. The article guides you through creating the public =
and
private key pair and signing the jar file. It then goes on to say how =
the
user of the applet has to import the certificate into their keystore and
create an associated policy file granting specific access rights.

I want to write an applet that has specific access rights (for a start =
it
runs in a frame so the user must be able to close the frame), however =
the
users of my applet are not programmers and will simply want to be able =
to
run the applet without having to worry about keystores and policy files. =
How
do you do this ?

Many Thanks
