Same problem on AMD 32 / i686, see bug #202883. The default permissions must be different between Sun Java and Icedtea/gcj.

Status in Source Package "icedtea-gcjwebplugin" in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: icedtea-gcjwebplugin My homebanking system needs access to a key file in my home directory. When trying to do so, Java's security bits rejects it without asking me about it. To make it work, I need to manually add stuff to java.policy (and since I have no clue how to do it correctly, I just temporarily put AllPermission into the default and removed it when I'm done doing my homebanking thing). Obviously, what should happen is that I should get the friendly dialog box asking if I trust the software vendor and if I'm cool with the applet accessing my home directory. This is on amd64, by the way. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+editemails More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
