Subject: Chicken and Egg?
Greetings,
We are trying to use signed JAR files. According to the documentation it
would appear that a 'chicken & egg' scenario exists. We try to create a
certificate, yet a certificate must exist in order to create one.
Using this command:
javakey -gc johnDoe johnDoe.dir
javakey complains that no such cert:0
according to the directive file this is the first certificate...yet
apparently we cannot create a certificate for anyone to use for signing
until a certificate exists?
What are we missing?
Dave
