Hi,

When I run the netscape.sample.security.SimplePrivSample applet at
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/index.html?content=signedobj/secsampleharness/SecSampleHarness.html

in Netscape 4.7, I get the following errors in the results textArea:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

***Initializing netscape.sample.security.SimplePrivSample...?

If I click on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the browser
and look at the Java/Javascript
section, I see that there is nothing in the listbox that is displayed.
I think that I need to grant some
privileges to the applet, but I don't see any way to do it. I was
expecting to see a dialog box requesting
privileges, and then maybe something would appear in my Java/JavaScript
listbox. Is there something
I need to do to make this applet work?

Thanks,
Joe

OK, now I noticed this in the Java console:
----------------------------------------------------------
Netscape Communications Corporation -- Java 1.1.5

Type '?' for options.

# Error: Invalid digital signature file (-7885)
# jar file: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\jzip0QRU.TMP
# path: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\jzip0QRU.TMP
# Error: loading of signatures has failed (-1)
# jar file: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\jzip0QRU.TMP
# path: /docs/manuals/signedobj/secsampleharness/
-----------------------------------------------------------
So, it appears that the signatures of the demo apps are corrupt.
Has anyone had any success running these demos?

"In order to run the samples, you will first have to
activate Codebase Principals. In order to run a sample, select one from the class browser popup menu and click
on the "Run Sample" button. "
Did you do that?

Oops, I hadn't activated codebase principals. That fixed it.

Thanks,
