[omniORB] RE: (omniORB) SSL? JavaIDL or RMI-IIOP interoperability?

[John Cumming]

if you use the Java Plugin you can get round the security issues with
applets by
setting specific policies in the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/<some policy
file>

We have done this as we need an applet loaded from the server MACHINE A to
access a local smartcard reader through a DLL on the client MACHINE B and
send
information to a CORBA object on server MACHINE C. 

A major headache without the plugin, but rel. simple with the plugin.

Mind you we don't use omniORB no more!!

Yes.  You can also use ORBInitialHost and ORBInitialPort properties to
locate omniNames.  Not sure if you'll be able to use JavaIDL from an
applet though, I would expect there to be security restrictions.  But
your servlets can use it.

Don't know about this, sorry.
