Description
Repeated "Please insert a smart card" popup at JNLP app start up, and repeated prompting to select a client certificate afterwards.

One approach to reduce the number of pup-up dialog windows is to first probe to acquire the private key with the SILENT flag, and then re-acquire the key normally (i.e. not silently).
