Subject: example doesn't work?
Is there a missing step in the example at
http://java.sun.com/security/usingJavakey.html?
When I get to the part where it says:
4.Generate a certificate
% javakey -gc cert_directive
I created my own cert_directive file called tunman98.cert and did the
command:
javakey -gc tunman98.cert
It came back with:
no signer avt found in the database.
Any idea what I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks for any pointers.

Here's the tunman98.cert file:
