How to automatically import digital certificates

Hi!

I am working in a big company and we get a new java-program which has
a digital certificate. They told me, it is impossible to let the users
click on "Accept always" or something like that, so I need to import
this certificate automatically. Does anybody know how to do this with
Suns VM and with Microsofts VM? (Yes we DO have both VMs...) We are
using Windows XP as an operating system. I looked through the web and
didn't find anything. Looks like the certificate-memory should not be
accessible by other programs...

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

By "digital certificate" do you mean a signed applet or web start app?
If so, to accept the cert into the client computer from the server side
would require cracking Java security.

the other approach is to have a corporate-wide *.policy file.
