java version "1.3.1-rc1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-rc1-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-rc1-b21, mixed mode)

Signed Applet is not recognized when using the plugin from SDK 1.3.1 RC 1
(this also happens with 1.3 and 1.3.1 beta).

Applet is signed with Thawte certificate and signed with signtool. The dialog
for granting permissions to the applet NEVER appears. The applet throws
exception when accessing secured ressources.

On my system ( nt4.0 sp5 ) I have installed the SDK1.3.1-rc1 and JRE1.3.1-rc1
(different downloads!). So in the plugin control panel I can choose which
installation to use.
JRE 1.3.1 in C:\Programs\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1 (this is JRE)
JDK 1.3.1 in C:\jdk1.3.1 (this is the SDK)

If I choose the first one I get the dialog which asks whether I want to
grant permissions.
If I choose the second one I do NOT get the dialog and the applet fails
with security exception. (see printout of java-console below)

The wrong behaviour is independent from browser (I tried netscape 4.7 and IE 5.5)
