Hi Mark,
The problem you're running into is due to the fact that the man page
for javakey originally published contained incorrect syntax for
directive files. The proper syntax follows this pattern:
issuer.name=jsmith
subject.name=mlauney
etc.
Also, make sure you are using the Beta2 release, now available from
our web site. Please let us know if you have other questions or
feedback.
Thank you,
