Keytool-iui on 64bit RedHat Linux

[officertubs]

Hi All,

I am not in anyway a java programmer, so be kind. :-)
I have RedHat Linux 6.1 64bit installed and running.
java version "1.6.0_20"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.10) (rhel-1.40.1.9.10.el6_1-
x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

I need to create a keystore to use with a specific application. I
already have a .key .csr. and valid signed certificate.

I have downloaded and attempted to run the keytool, but it hangs at
"now Loading" I started it at 3:00 pm one day and at 6:00 am the next
day it was at the same place, so I have been patient.

If the keytool is supposed to work in a 64 bit environment, what can I
do to get up and running?

If the keytool will not work in a 64bit environment, can I use it in a
32 bit environment and move all the files between platforms without
issue?

Thanks for any help

Hi,

Did you start the application with webstart using the link from the
project page?

If so, try to make the Java console visible and check if any Exception
is show on that page.

Cheers,
Michael

Michael,

I did NOT try to start from the link on the project page.

I downloaded the zip file. unzipped it and attempted to start the tool
using ./run_ktl.sh

Hi Mike,

Where did you download the file? I cannot see any "run_ktl.sh" in the
project.

Maybe you can try the Webstart version:
http://www.fuin.org/keytool-iui/keytool-iui.jnlp
(Requires Webstart to be installed)

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Mike,

Looks like a rather old build.

You should really try the webstart version (2.5.0-SNAPSHOT) on the
project's front page - It's from May this year.
If you cannot get webstart up and running I can try to prepare a new
standalone version.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi all,

I tried to launch the java web start on an ubuntu 64 bit.

I had no problem to launch keytool iui.

After that I tried to create a keystore and adding a Secret Key into
it.

With java 1.7 everything seems ok.
With java 1.6, I had an exception when I tried to add a Secret Key
into the keystore :
java.security.KeyStoreException: access denied
(java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.security.util)

So if you launch the webstart version, you should try to use the
webstart of java 1.7 rather than 1.6.
