JWS rejected the certificate with "KeyUsage=Digital Signature"

843802Jan 28 2004 — edited Feb 18 2004

PLATFORM:
JWS 1.4.2

PROBLEM:
My cert doesn't contain "Netscape OBJECT_SIGNING", but it contains a standard "critical X.509 version3 extension" "KeyUsage=Digital Signature, Non-Repudiation, Key Encipherment, Data Encipherment (f0)".

See this page for more about netscape extension and standard extension
http://wp.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-cert-exts.html

Is it correct for JWS to reject this kind of cert without looking at " X.509 version3" "keyUsage"? Because from http://wp.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-cert-exts.html, "KeyUsage=Digital Signature" can be used for object signing.
