Keytool help................!!!!!!!!
843810Jul 1 2002 — edited Sep 18 2002Dear Sir,
I am a novice as far as Security issues are concerned in Java. I have gone through the tutorial of "Keytool" but I have got some problems. I have done the following things..
1. Created a keystore via command...
keytool -genkey -alias XXXXX
2. Requested CA to create a certificate
keytool -alias XXXXX -keypass XXXX -stotepass XXXXXX -file file_name
After this a file named file_name was created in the current directory. But when I tried to open it by double clicking..I got the message that the certificate is invalid. Then I
3. Exported the certificate in the file specified by file_name via
keytool -export -alias XXXXX -keypass XXXXX -file file_name
After this I again opened the file named file_name by double clicking. the file got opened but the certificate was invalid. So I have an option to install the certificate and I did that.
Till here it was ok but finally when i tried to import the certificate into keystore via command
keytool -import -alias XXXXXX -keypass XXXX -file file_name
I got the following message
keytool error :java.lang.Exception : certificate reply and certificate in keystore are identical.
I hope that any JGURU will give an attention to my problem and help me to fix it out.
Regs.
