What does "CertificateParsingException: signed fields invalid" mean?

843811Apr 13 2009 — edited Apr 15 2009
Hello,

The following code generates a java.security.cert.CertificateParsingException: signed fields invalid exception:
			URL url = new URL("http://hostname/TemporaryKey.pfx");
			InputStream inStream = url.openStream();
			CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
*exception occurs here==>	X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(inStream);
			inStream.close();
The name for the .pfx file was changed but is valid.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
williamj
