• Thread-topic: Getting a self-signed applet to work in Safari

On my windows box (which is building the applet), I did the following:

C:\tools>"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin\keytool" -genkey -dname "cn=myname, ou=myorg, o=mycompany, c=US" -alias myalias -keypass mykeypass -keystore mykeystore -storepass mystorepass -validity 180

C:\tools>"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin\keytool" -export -keystore mykeystore -alias myalias -file mycertificate.cer

C:\tools>"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin\jarsigner" -keystore mykeystore -storepass mystorepass -keypass mykeypass applet.jar myalias

I then copied mycertificate.cer over to my MacBook Pro, opened Keychain Access, and then imported the certificate into my login keychain.  The certificate seemed to import ok.  I can see it under the "Certificates" section.  I do see some red text saying "This certificate is not in the trusted root database", but under "Certificate Information", under "Trust Settings", I have selected "Always Trust".

Now when I point my laptop at the web server on the Windows box, the applet does not work.  I get the following error in my console:

access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir read)

And the following error in Safari:

http://servername
Applet does not have permission to perform this activity.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I thought that this was all I had to do to get my signed applet working.

Many thanks,
Sebastian
