Browser never presents certificate to user
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this:
I have an applet that I wish to deploy in a signed JAR file. I created a key with the "keytool" utility that comes in the JDK. This key comes with its own self-singed certificate. In order to increase the level of protection, I added a root certificate that both I and my clients (this is an internal deployment for now) trust to the certificate chain for this key. I then signed my jar file with the key.
Now, when I try to load the applet from the web, I know that in theory, the browser should ask me whether or not I want to accept the applet, and if I accept it, the applet should have permission to read system properties. On the latest version of the JVM, this works fine. But on some versions, the browser never bothers to ask me if I want to accept the applet. It just downloads it and tries to run it, but the applet doesn't have permission to do what I need it to do.
Any ideas?
