Can't load an applet over HTTPS with installed client certificate in JRE 1.4.1

[Ivan Jordanov]

Hi. I have a problem when I try to load an applet over HTTPS with SUN
JVM (JRE 1.4.1_01). I have installed client certificate in IE and
Netscape - the site is opened without the applet. I installed my
client certificate and in the JRE (Java plug-in) with no problems but
it seems java plug-in can't read my certificate. The client
certificate is required from web server (MS IIS). I'll appreciate any
help. The following exception occurs when I try to load the applet:
