    Subject: Problem using SunJCE in an applet

Hi java-security,

I would appreciate if you would look into the problem I am facing
using SunJCE with a browser plugin.

I'm trying to use SunJCE-classes in my applet. But the browser plugin
(jdk1.2) of windows-95 is unable to recognise SunJCE as the provider
even if I change the java.security file on the client machine (the
machine on which I am running the applet ).

As a result, I get "algorithm not available" exception in my applet.

Note that I can not use Security.addProvider call within my applet as
my applet is not signed.
( calling this would give me security execption ).

A typical use on client machine is like this :

(a) The client loads the applet and the jce1_2-doc.jar from our web
server.
(b) The client machine has the provider SunJCE added
in c:\windows\system\lib\security\java.security file.

But the browser is picks up only Sun as the provider.

I modified the applet to print the providers list from Security class.
It prints only Sun as the provider.

Is there anything wrong / missing that I am doing ?

Thanks in advance,
