Hi,

I intend to use signed applets to connect to an LDAP server. The method
I have adopted is by using javakey. This method has proved successful as
far as signer certificates created by javakey. However, these signed
applets do not work with Netscape Communicator. To work around this
problem, I obtained a certificate from Verisign too, but my problem is
that I cannot import these certifcates into the database maintained by
javakey. Prior to this I acquired certificates from our company's CA
too, and the problem was the same.

I have also downloaded duke.x509 and successfully imported it into the
database using javakey command

The following are the steps carried out by me
Certificate from my Company CA or Verisign

1. Requested for a certificate from the CA through the Netscape browser.
CA is using Netscape Certificate server
2. After obtaining the certificate from CA, it is was saved as a .P12
file
3. javakey -cs Nithin true
4. javakey -ic Nithin <filename>.p12
On executing step 4, I got an error message "Database I/O Error"

I am using Netscape Communicator ver. 4

Your assistance in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
