This JavaPlugin 1.3+ applet at initialization detects if the default keystore file, policy file and system
security directory exist on the current machine,and displays the status.
For the PKCS12 storetype to be supported, installed JSSE support or equivalent is required.
JavaPlugin1.4 (j2se v1.4+) includes
JSSE support for the PKCS12 keystore file type. The applet
tries to load the keystore of either type JKS or PKCS12.
Support for PKCS12 keystores
is limited
in JSSE and j2se v1.4 implementations, (however, see note below).
Default Keystore allows local login to the default keystore, if it exists.
Select Keystore allows local login to any keystore on the current machine via a file dialog.
Default Policyfile displays the contents of the default user policy file .java.policy, if it exists.
Select Policyfile displays the contents of any policy file on the current machine via a file dialog.
Select SecFile facilitates display of the Java system security files (java.policy, java.security etc.) by
a file selection dialog in the /lib/security directory.
[PKCS12 keystore files exported from IE report a problem in the Plugin Java console such as unknown attr1.3.6.1.4.1.311.17.1
which is a Microsoft specific PKCS#12 OID
"szOID_LOCAL_MACHINE_KEYSET" not properly parsed by JavaPlugin 1.3. However, JavaPlugin 1.4 will successfully parse the pkcs#12 keystore.]
