Hello V B Kumar Jayanti,
Thank you very much for your information. When I try to load
private key I am getting exception while generating the instance of the
private key in the method "generatePrivate". I used openssl to create
private and public keys as well as CA.
I run the following commands for generating keys and CA.
openssl genrsa -des3 -out /home/jagan/jwsdp-1.5/xws-security/etc/client.key
openssl req -new -key /home/jagan/jwsdp-1.5/xws-security/etc/client.key
-out
/home/jagan/jwsdp-1.5/xws-security/etc/client.csr
openssl ca -in /home/jagan/jwsdp-1.5/xws-security/etc/client.csr -out
/home/jagan/jwsdp-1.5/xws-security/etc/client.crt -notext -passin
pass:capass
======================================================
I added the following function in addition to your code you sent in
previous mail,
public static void main(String[] args){
try{
X509Certificate cert =
readX509Cert("/home/jagan/jwsdp-1.5/xws-security/etc/client.crt");
System.out.println("The certificate has been loaded");
PrivateKey key =
readPrivateKey("/home/jagan/jwsdp-1.5/xws-security/etc/client.key");
System.out.println("The key has been loaded");
generateAndSaveKeyStore(cert, key, "changeit",
"xws-security-client","changeit","/home/jagan/jwsdp-1.5/xws-security/etc/client-keystore");
}
catch(Exception e){System.out.println("The exception raised");}
System.out.println("I am jagan ");
}
======================================================
I am getting the following exception .............
[jagan_at_dione CA]$ java SecuritySample
The certificate has been loaded
The exception raised
I am jagan
[jagan_at_dione CA]$
----------------------------------------------------------
The configuration of the openssl is also enclosed to this mail.
Could you mind to help me please?
with regards,
Jagan Kommineni
