BankID applet fails in Chromium with icedtea plugin
Almost all Norwegian Internet banks rely on a set of Java applets from BankID (www.bankid.no). These applets worked flawless on previous versions of Ubuntu using sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin packages. After upgrade to Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 the sun-java6 packages seems to have been replaced with OpenJDK and Icedtea plugin. This combination now seems to fail to run some of the BankID applets, at least the signing applet but also occationally the logon applet. What happens is that the input field for socialsecurity number or personal login code occationally fails to accept any input.
The applet may be tried at https:/
You have to enter a valid 11 digit social security number ("fødselsnummer" in Norwegian) but the applet occationally doesn't accept input.
I would argue that this is caused by a bug in Icedtea as it worked flawlessly in 11.04 with sun-java6. Anyone disagrees before I submit a bug report ?
