hi Martin,

As this is not a JSS/NSS/NSPR issue.

Please read:

If you have more questions on signing applets I believe your best source 
expert information is
to ask in this forum:

I don't understand why you want to pursue how to get unsigned applets 
working? learn how to sign your applet correctly.

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/plugin/developer_guide/security.html

    *  All unsigned applets are run under the standard applet security 
model.
    * If usePolicy is not defined in the java.policy file, then a signed 
applet has the AllPermission permission only if Java Plug-in can verify 
the signers, and the user agrees to granting  the AllPermission 
permission when prompted.
    * If usePolicy is defined, then a signed applet has only the 
permissions defined in java.policy and no prompting occurs.


note: I rarely work with applets, but when I do, for debugging an applet 
on my local system only rather than signing the applet I
modify my local java.policy file and add

        permission java.security.AllPermission;
        permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "loadLibrary.*";
