RSA/Thawte signed applet is not recognised as signed in Netscape4.7 under Win95

Sign any applet with a Thawte certificate and run it using Java plug-in in
Netscape4.7 under Windows95. The dialog granting the applet permission to run
never appears and the AccessControlException is thrown if the applet attempts to
access any system resources.

The bug ID 4228067 is a different bug from what I reported. In my case the "grant permisson" dialog doesn't appear at all. The bug that you quoted, on the
other hand, describes the situation when the applet displays the initial dialog and *then* fails to display the "additional information" about the
certificate.

The same applet definitely works in Netscape under NT. That makes me beleive that Win95 is at fault. Unfortunately, I can't make any comments about IE.
I also know for sure that the same applet does not work in Netscape under Win95 using JDK1.3beta. It would be nice to at least find out what causes the
problem.
