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
