I have tested the signedWriteFile example as documented in JDK 1.1 with
appletviewer and worked. However I have tried to test it with commercial
web browsers (NC 4.0, IE 4.0, HotJava) by setting their options for low
security in Java Applets but it always generated a security exception.
Is there a way to incorporate a certification (without specifying a =
certificate authority (CA))
within these browsers for the specific site and applet in order to =
override=20
the security restriction ? If this is not possible how this can be =
achieved by
specifying a CA ? If specifying a CA is the only way to override the =
security
restrictions of an applet how can I contact a CA in order to obtain a =
certificate
for my own applets and site ?
I thank you in advance
