GSS-API authentication/BC may not be signed by a trusted party

Hi,

I'm working on grid technology and more specifically with globus and the
Java CoG kit.
There is no GSI (which is based on GSS-API) enabled Java ssh terminal yet
available to I'm trying to build one. I figured I could add GSI
authentication to the sshterm applet.

I'm running into difficulties regarding JCE. In my code I make use of
"org.globus.gsi.OpenSSLKey.decrypt()" from the cog-jglobus.jar, but when I
do so I get an error  message saying "The provider BC may not be signed by a
trusted party".

Now I have successfully used this code in my own signed applet before. This
applet loads the cog-jglobus.jar signed by me and the jce-jdk13-120.jar
signed by Bouncy Castle. It also prompts me to trust both entities.

In my opinion if the sshterm applet used the jce-jdk13-120.jar signed by
Bouncy Castle instead of having the code packaged into
SSHTermApplet-jdk1.3.1-dependencies-signed.jar my globus code would work.

Do you have any suggestions or recommendation regarding this issue?

Thanks!
