applets and authentification

I know this subject is recurrent on this list, so I looked at the previous
related messages, but I didn't find any solution to my problem. Maybe
there isn't any, but I just want to be sure.

My applets are on a web area requiring authentification (with MacOSX
Server). With most web browsers, identification is required once (by the
browser) for the access to the web page and twice (by the JVM) to run
every applet. This is of course driving users crazy.

I tried the qa1265, but the applet parameter is not used by the JVM. It
can only be used by the applet once it has been loaded. But my problem
occurs before the applet is loaded. Is there a secret applet parameter
name for a cookie that would be used by the JVM ?

It has been suggested to use a URL rewrite instead of cookies for
authentification, but I don't really like this option (it makes ugly
URLs), I'm not sure it would really fix the problem, and I'm afraid it
would make things even more complex for the applet to load other files,
and I want to use the same Java and HTML code everywhere (secure area or
not), and I don't want to use JSP or Javascript only to fix this bug.

Any idea to get me closer to a solution ? (apart from being less
difficult, or requesting that users use IE/Windows with MS JVM ?)
