There is no problem here. Applet doesn't check your certificate for
valid certificate chain and the browser does. The browser expects
the sertificate to be signed by some well-known CA (and some
other staff). You can install your sertificate (at least in MS IE) and
if the sign is the only problem then you get no more promts.
