I am an SE working with the Java Plug-in team trying to keep
up with the Java Feedback alias. I have a customer that has
some security questions I really do not know how to answer
regarding multiple signitures on a single file. Can somone
help me out ?
Thanks,

Is it possible to sign one jar-file with several different certificates/
signatures?
Is the number of applied certificates/signatures limited per file?
For Example:
1. Sign it with a Certificate for use with the Java Plug-in (using Sun's
signing tool "javakey").
and...
2. Sign the SAME jar-file with a second Certificate for use with the
Netscape Java VM (using Netscape's signing tool).
Doing this, would it then be possible to switch between Java
Plug-in or Netscape VM using the appropriate certificate
(by creating two different Links using the different HTML-Tags
"Applet" and "Embed")?
Would the first certificate be overwritten? Or, can both coexist and
therefore be recognised and read from the appropriate runtime
environment (either JavaPlug-in or Netscape Communicator VM)?
How can I create an empty identitydb.obj file? Or, where can I get
it?
