HowTo Install and Test MindTerm Applet

[Calvin D. Webster]

Okay, I set it to expire in 730 days (2 years).

What about the certificates generated by makecert and cert2spc? How does 
one set the expiration date on those?

Is this what the "-t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll" 
flag is for in "signtool"?

Does "timestamp.dll" have to be called from the verisign web site or can 
it be downloaded to an intranet server or local machine hard drive and 
referenced from there?

Doesn't there have to be a begin and end date of validity on any 
certificate/key? Have these been covered for both the JAR and CAB files 
in the HowTo updates so far? In other words, will the "-validity" 
argument to keytool and the "-t" argument to signtool satisfy all date 
code settings for both JAR and CAB files?

Is there any documentation for the Authenticode tools? The Java SDK is 
documented very well both on-line and in the downloadable docs.
