Something has to be accepted, as it is loading arbitrary code into the browser... I am hoping to limit this to a single dialog box (hopefully with more information) accepting a certificate signed by either Sun, or by the one enabling https in the notebook. Currently https + signed jars + client-authentication-requests causes a huge mess. > - On OSX with firefox, there is a problem with a "secure connection". > I only get a colourful cube, which is the default scene I presume.
