We followed the instructions in
http://java.sun.com/security/usingJavakey.html for signing an applet
using javakey.

===============
2.Create an identity.

% javakey -cs "duke" true

3.Generate DSA key pair for the identity.

% javakey -gk "duke" DSA 512 duke_pub duke_priv

4.Generate certificate

Create a cert_directive file (See example, below)

% javakey -gc cert_directive
===============================

We are getting the error in the fourth step on , "issuer.cert=1" (as
shown below.)

C:\users\vae\client\outNew>javakey -gc cert_directive
Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.00.029(i) for JDK 1.1.x

Copyright (C) 1996-98 Symantec Corporation

No such cert: 1 for issuer [Signer]duke[identitydb.obj][trusted].

Can you help us? What is the number that I should key in as
issuer.cert? How to get that unique number?
