AccessControlException Error
I am trying to run the signed applets and followed the steps described at http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=30&thread=134099 .Here the steps I followed
On Server :
1) created the jar file containing the classes required.
2)generated the keystore using keytool -genkey
3) exported the key to .cer file using keytool -export
4)I signed the jar file using jarsigner
On Client Machine:
1)Copied the above generated .cer file into c:\progra~1\javasoft\jre\1.3.1\lib\security directory
2)Imported the key into cacerts keystore using keytool -import
3)Created html file using htmlconverter tool.
4)Tried to open the html file in Internet Explorer5.0.It is invoking Java Plugin. But it gives me the following error

I even installed this certificate in IE browser.(If I double click the .cer file this install dailogue comes up)
Do I need to create any policy file using policy Tool.If so how it should look like and where to keep that?
In case Policy file is required do I need to give to all the clients who are trying to access this applet remotely?
I really appreciate your help in this matter.
