Hello,

I am trying to use the javakey utility to generate a certificate
(javakey -gc certfile). In my certfile I have the following, as per
your javakey web page:

start.date=1 Dec 1996
end.date=1 Dec 1996

I continue to receive the "date formatted incorrectly" error message. I
have tried
many, many permutations on the above but so far no luck. Can you please
enlighten me or point me in the right direction to get going on this?
Also, your
web pages contained no information on the issuer.cert entry in the
directive file.

Thank you very much for your help,

Rand Clark
