Subject: Possibly silly question. . .
I'm not sure if this is a silly question or not. . . .
I wanted to create a signature, signed by a CA, into keytool.
#1)
I could visit www.verisign.com, and get them to generate a signature for
me. Netscape happily did the hard work for me.
But I couldn't figure out how to get either verisign or netscape
to print this out in a format that could then be imported by keytool.
#2)
I could use keytool to create a key pair, and then print a
self-signed certificate. But what am I supposed to do with it? How do
I get Verisign (or someone else) to sign a signature that I've generated?
I couldn't figure out how to do this. . . .
Am I missing something obvious?
