Subject: SIGNER ... NOT FOUND IN DATABASE

We are devenloping a java application that will be installed on 100
Win95 client PC.
Th s application will fetch various information from 5 different servers
located on our intranet.

As you can imagine for mantenance problems we are planning to install an
HTTP server so the clients could
download the application and runs it from a browser so we are
experimenting with signed applets.

I started downloading your example at
http://java.sun.com/security/signExample/ and I made exactly
like your example except that I used my name and my application

I create a Signer in the database with my name.
I created the public and private keys.
I created the certificate.
I created the jar file

everithing goes perfectly but when I try to sign my jar file with the
command:

javakey -gs sign_directive_davide buildTLS.jar

I receive the messages:
--------------------------------------------------
Adding entry META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
davide not found in database.
--------------------------------------------------
Please note that if I use the command :

javakey -ld

I can see the signer davide with the certificate created , keys
initializaed as I would expected

What's the problems ?

Than You in advance
