This has been fixed as of JTOpen 2.03. If you have an earlier version of JTOpen or V5R1 and earlier Toolbox, read the following circumventions. As of V5R1, the Toolbox now supports long passwords. This support requires a different type of password encryption. The Toolbox uses classes out of the java.security package to do this encryption. The java.security package is included with standard 1.1.x JDKs, but the default JVM that comes with Netscape does not contain these classes. There are two different ways to circumvent this problem: • Load the Java Plug-in to upgrade the level of the JVM inside Netscape. The plugin contains the previously missing java.security classes, thus avoiding the verifier error. These classes will allow an applet using the Toolbox to properly connect to V5R1 or higher systems using long passwords. • Get the jtStubs.jar (link resides outside of ibm.com). The stubs will get around the Netscape verifier error, but will not allow an applet using the Toolbox to conne
