Hi!

I wrote an applet to restrict access to certain parts of my homepage. 
This applet needs to make a connection over the net back to the server 
where my pages reside. It all used to work with Netscape 4.7, but with 
N6 the applet complains about a java.security.AccessControlException: 
access denied (java.net.SocketPermission www.blabla.bla resolve). I 
figure that one has to grant access by putting the right entry into the 
java.policy file of Sun's JRE 1.3. Well, at least that's what I tried, 
but it didn't work. Does N6 gets its java.policy from somewhere else? Or 
is there some other way to get rid of this error? One other related 
question: When I want to execute some signed applet to enable file read 
permissions for the applet where do I have to set up the security policy 
(add file read permissions and place the right certificate into the key 
store)? Usually I would again try the policy tool to edit the 
java.policy file accordingly, but somehow this does not seem to be the 
way with N6.

Thanks for your help!
Dierk
