REGRESSION: 1.4.1_01 signed applets don't work anymore

Name: gm110360 Date: 11/18/2002


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
JRE 1.4.1_01

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Windows 2000 SP3

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
My signed applet doesn't work with 1.4.1_01 anymore. This
was tested on IE 6.0. It worked before, nicely, with
1.3.1_0x and 1.4.1.

The certificate is a standard Verisign one.

The behaviour is this:
- launch applet
- the user is NOT prompted with the certificate/access
granting dialog, unlike before
- AccessControlException is thrown

In fact, the behaviour is as if the property "usePolicy"
had been defined, even though it hadn't.

Nothing had been changed in my applet and the only change
was using 1.4.1_01. Here is the link to the forum where
others have been experiencing the same thing:
