Hi:

I'm a java developer at Nortel. I read on Sun web page that javakey should
allow signed jars to work using the Java Plug-in which is supposed to use
its
own Security Mgr. but it doesn't work in Internet Explorer 4 or Netscape
4.05.
Of course, it works in AppletViewer but that's not what we want.

This whole Certificate issue is a mess.

I did get Netscape to work with a Verisign certificate. I couldn't import
that
certificate into the javakey identitydb.obj. Incompatible certificate.
What's the
deal with this?

I want to use the Java Plug-in with certificates and signed jar files.

Thanks,

Tom Derry
