OS/400 Java JRE and Java.Security -- JAVA400-L

OK....bear with me....my AS/400 Java programming skills and understanding is
about equivalent to a 1930's auto-mechanic working on a 2003 Subaru WRX...so
I'm still trying to figure it all out....

On my Win2K PC...I've set up my Java Environment with the Java 1.3.03
Runtime Environment installed.  That created a directory structure below
\Program Files\JavaSoft\Jre\1.3.1_03\lib\security\  and this is the location
of the "java.security" file I have to modify to communicate with a Verisign
java class that authorizes a credit card number for me.   That's fine and
all works great.

When I move all this to the AS/400,  I can call the verisign class and it
finds it and all that (I'm calling it from a CL program, by the way...).
The problem is though that the authorization fails because the Java RUNTIME
java.security file does not contain the list of security providers for
Verisign.

Now...and here's my question (finally!)....on OS/400.....I have the
directory structure /QIBM/ProdData/Java400/JDK13/lib/security with the
java.security file in it. However, since this is the JDK, and not the
JRE...I'm guessing that I"m using the wrong security file.  What is the
OS/400 equivalent directory structure to my Windows JRE directory structure?

Let me know if I need to clarify that question.  It sounded good before it
came out in print on this email :-) but it got a little fuzzy between my
brain and the keyboard!

Thanks
