I've managed to get the j2re v1.4.02 running applets.  However there are
some applets that don't function.  And some that try to load from other
sources, but can't.  Some research says it's because it can't negotiate
the proxy, but I'm not running a proxy(yet)?  I'm thinking it's ...

In the article at http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sj/401/koved.html, I
saw reference to creating an SSL socket between a client, such as an applet,
and a server object such as a servlet.  I want to explore this and better
understand how it works.  It would be good if anyone can ...

I have a signed applet, with which I need to make a TCP or HTTP connection
to a remote server.
Sounds simple enough. The old version supported only MS JVM and SUN < 1.3.
This worked fine by perfroming the following checks befor connecting:

I have:
- Created a certificate request
- Sent the request to a CA (Verisign affiliate)
- Received the certificate

I have an applet in my system and we have to begin requiring client-side
PKI certs.  From the testing that I have done, this requires that certs
for the user, the server and the signing organization be installed in
the JVM(keystore) on each workstation.  Recent versions of Java ...

i'm looking for a framework or an open source tool to manage user accounts
and access control lists. i have searched a lot with google but i didn't
find anything.
i found jaas, but it doesn't seem to fit for what i'm looking for.

I am trying to make an RMI application run over SSL. However, the code
that register the server object throws an exception, at the call to
ActivationGroup.getSystem(), as followed:
-----------BEGIN

    private static String tempKey = "somthing";
    private static SecretKey secretKey;
    private static Cipher cipher;
    private static String charset= "Windows-1250";

= Problem In brief =
I want to authenticate web-user in web-container [embeded
in j2ee server]. However none of standard authentication
mechanism (from servlet sepcification) don't meet my requirements.

I'm developing a Javacard applet for digital signature. I also have to
write a client to verify the signatures (RSA_SHA_PKCS1).
I think I managed to code the applet, but i'm very confused about the
standard java part of the work: from the applet I can generate a keypair
