How to import a CA certificate

I did implement some software using the Java SSL extension. It works when installing each certificate as trusted.

Now I want to use the existing internal CA infrastructure. I did a certification request, got the answer and tried to import it into my keystore.

I got the error

keytool error: Failed to establish chain from reply

Seems logical to me, as the signing CA is not known by default. I think I have to import the CA certificate into Javas "cacerts". But when trying this, I got the following error:

keytool error: Signature not available

Whats that? Of course there is no signature available, it is the CA certificate. I compare the fingerprint of the certificate manually and it is OK. How to I import it into cacerts?

Cheers...Urs

OK, I solved that one.The problem was that the JDK1.2 keytool seems not being able to deal with RSA signatures, however the JDK1.3 one works ok.I'll do the key management with JDK1.3.Cheers...Urs
