Subject: CA matter with signed jar and with netscape

Hello:
I have a problem with my signed jar.

I have my .x509 created with javakey, and my signed .jar.=20
All goes well with appletviewer, but if I want to use with Netscape 4.x,
I think that my x.509 must be also in my Netscape Communicator to run my
jar.=20

My ask is:=20
- How could I make Communicator to take my .x509?
- Is a .x509 file a valid kind of certificate to do that?
- A certificate is a CA?
- Someone knows what kind of archives are .p12?

Thank you.

Now in Spanish, if someone live in this wonderful country.

My problema es que quiero hacer tomar a Netscape Communicator un
certificado .x509, si es que =E9ste es v=E1lido para que Netscape pueda
reconer el tipo de firma que va en un .jar que toma en un applet.

No s=E9 c=F3mo hacer para que lo tome si es que los x509, son archivos
v=E1lidos, y adem=E1s en mi b=FAsqueda por estos mundos perdidos me he
encontrado con que Netscape necesita de archivos .p12 que no s=E9 que son.

Agradezco vuestra ayuda e inter=E9s.
Adios.
