What is the purpose of using IDS Server as a Web server?
The Java security rule prohibits downloaded Java applets (no digital signature) to make network connection to IP address other than the applets’ origin. If your Web server and the IDS Server are on two different computers (i.e. different IP addresses), your applet is not allow to connect to the IDS Server. Using IDS Server as a Web server to deploy the applet solves this problem without the need to run another Web server on the same machine.
