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. > Can anybody explain this to me? > thanks, > Dean > > Anton -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
