Using Verisign Client Certificate

843811Apr 20 2002 — edited Sep 12 2002

Hi all-
I am really having a problem in using a certificate from verisign. Here's the story:

I picked up the certificate from verisign website. There was no option of saving the certificate and it got installed in my machine.

I exported the certificate from IE in X509 format and tried to enter it in keystore using keytool. It was added to the keystore successfully but the Entry type was trustedEntry, which means that a private key is not available for this entry. It also means that this file is not suitable as a KeyManager's keystore.
So, I tried to export the certicate from IE with the private key, but if I select the option to export with the private key - it won't let me export as X509 but as PKCS#12. And, when I tried import it in keytool an error was generated (keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 certificate).

What is the way arround?

Thanks,
