Importing X509 cert with 4096 bit key

843811May 19 2003 — edited Feb 12 2005

I am having trouble importing a X509 certificate into a jks keystore file. I am able to view this certificate in IE and other browsers. Buth when I try to import this certificate into my jks keystore file I receive the following error:

keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate

I know the certificate is a X.509 cert. It does however have a very large key size - 4096 bits. Should keytool be able to import certs with a a 4096 bit key?

The certificate is the root CA that signed a client cert that I need to import into my jks. I can't import the client cert until I can import the root CA so that keytool will trust the signer of the client cert.
