Subject: I am having trouble creating a certificate with 1.1 beta3...
Hi there,
I have the following certificate file and receive errors regarding the
Date format when I try to create the certificate. I have not tried this
in a couple of weeks since it is a background task, but I am starting to
get too close to my deadline.
I am running on Windows 95, and have created keys and signers as named before
running javakey on this. They have pubkeys. etc.
Here is the output of javakey -ld:
Scope: sun.security.IdentityDatabase, source file: F:\DEV\JDK11\JAVA\BIN\..\identitydb.obj
[Signer]ti[identitydb.obj][trusted]
public and private keys initialized
certificates:
No further information available.
[Signer]kents[identitydb.obj][trusted]
public and private keys initialized
certificates:
No further information available.
Here is my cert file:
#
# Information about the issuer.
#
# this is the name of the signer that is issuing the certificate.
issuer.name=ti
issuer.real.name=TI Software
issuer.org.unit=ITG
issuer.org=Texas Instruments
issuer.country=United States
issuer.cert=ti
#
# Information about the subject
#
# this is information about the person being authenticated by the certificate
subject.name=kents
subject.real.name=Kent Spaulding
subject.org.unit=ITG
subject.org=Texas Instruments
subject.country=United States
#
# Information about the certificate
#
# this is information about the certificate itself
start.date = 5 Feb 1997
end.date = 28 Feb 1997
serial.number = 1001
#
# Name of the file to which to save a copy of the certificate
#
out.file=./certs/kents.cer
If I specify issuer.cert as '1' (like in the doc) I get an unknown certificate
error. If I say 'ti', it appear to go further, but I get an "date formatted
incorrectly' error.
Can you offer any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
--Kent
