I am horribly java naive and have only gone by way of the various instructions for creating keystores and certificates found at a variety of sites that all match in syntax and function. I have created a keystore, created a signing request (which has been sent to thawte and recieved my signed cert), and imported my root and intermediate CA certs. Every step of the way, each file and certificate has been tested and is complete and without error. However, when i attempt to import my final signed certificate into the keystore, I get the following error: keytool error: java.security.cert.CertificateException: sun.security.pkcs. ParsingException: DerInputStream.getLength<>: lengthTag=26, too big. Now, if i google "lengthTag=26, too big" i get zero returns from google. If i simply google "lengthTag= too big" without the 26 i get many returns... but all for different lengthTag errors, none of which having anything to do with my issue. Any insight as to what I could be doing wrong would be highly appreciated. --- * Synchronet * The Whitehouse BBS --- whitehouse.hulds.com --- check it out free usenet! --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
