But accepting the certificate and granting extra privileges happens
before the applet starts so how would this solve anything ?
The second time the user is not even asked to accept the certificate. It
seems to be assumed that since the user didn't accept it the first time
he shouldn't even be asked again.

It has nothing to do with your code - it is the browser's mechanism for
handling permissions. The "don't allow" is persistent for the session.
If you are serving the applet from a dynamic page (jsp, etc.) you might
try killing the current session and starting a new one (no guarantees -
your mileage may vary). From static pages, I can't think of anything
other than serving a different applet but others may have a better idea.
