For what it's worth, I run the signed applet example on WinNT with
identitydb.obj in the default location (in my setup, that's c:\users\myid)
and it works OK. I don't modify the java.security properties file.
I'm using Communicator 4.04.

If you want to explicitly name the place for identitydb.obj, add this
property to the lib/security/java.security file:

identity.database=c:\mydir\myidentitydb.obj
