empty "Request Authentication" popup before signing document

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I try to use the applet to sign a document:
After popup with message "Please insert a smart card", after smart card is 
inserted, I get an empty "Request Authentication" popup with message 
"Identification required. Please select certificate to be used for 
authentication."

After clicking on the [Cancel] button, the signing of the document continues 
without any problems.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

No "Request Authentication" popup is expected (since it is empty). What is the 
meaning of this popup and how can this popup be avoided?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- applet version: 1.0.5.GA
- Operating System: Win7
- Server Weblogic 11g

Please provide any additional information below:

This is the applet script:

<script src="https://www.java.com/js/deployJava.js"></script>
<script>
  var attributes = {
     code : 'be.fedict.eid.applet.Applet.class',
     archive : 'eid-applet-package-1.0.5.GA.jar',
     width : 400,
     height : 300,
     mayscript :'true'
  };
  var parameters = {
     TargetPage : 'javascript:alert("Hello World");',
     AppletService : 'applet-service;jsessionid=<%=session.getId()%>',
     BackgroundColor : '#ffffff'
  }; 
  var version = '1.6';
  deployJava.runApplet(attributes, parameters, version);
</script>   

Servlet config in web.xml:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>AppletServiceServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>be.fedict.eid.applet.service.AppletServiceServlet</servlet-class>
     <init-param>
        <param-name>SignatureService</param-name>
        <param-value>ejb/EidSignatureService</param-value>
     </init-param>
     <init-param>
        <param-name>IncludeCertificates</param-name>
        <param-value>false</param-value>
     </init-param>
     <init-param>
        <param-name>SkipSecureConnectionCheck</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
  </servlet>
