Special Considerations For Java Applets
The Open Client can support Java applets, by using an HTML page to distribute the appropriate files. However, there are a number of factors you must consider, including:
- The Open Client applet obtains the HTTP Basic authentication and Proxy Web server information from the end user and then passes the information to the Open Client. However, you cannot rely on the browser to provide the user interaction. Your applet must perform this task. You might also have to access to the Proxy Web server configuration information from the browse. In this case, the applet also needs to obtain the Proxy Web server information from the end user.
- An Open Client applets can run on both a company intranet and the Internet. As a result, you need to sign your Java code with a Digital Certificate and your applet must get permission to perform a network connection.
