How do I use J2S Keytool?
I'm not a programmer, but I need to use Sun Java products for my job. I need to sign up for Sun Java Signing from Verisign. They say I need to follow these instructions here
http://www.verisign.com/support/code-signing-support/code-signing/digital-id.html
I've done step 1 and downloaded the J2E for Windows. Now it says:
"To generate a public/private key pair, enter the following command, specifying a name for your keystore and an alias as well.
C:\jdk1.3\bin\keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -keystore <keystore_filename> -alias <alias_name>"
Where do I enter this command?
# 1
(in this u c clearlly...
keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -keystore (keyword)
<keystore-filename> is user defidend and <alis-name> also )
so example:
C:\jdk1.3\bin\keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -keystore mainfilekey -alias kmf
(here mainfilekey and kmf are userdefinded name... u wish u any word to give instead of.....)
To generate a public/private key pair, enter the following command, specifying a name for your keystore and an alias as well.
C:\jdk1.3\bin\keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -keystore <keystore_filename> -alias <alias_name>
Keytool prompts you to enter a password for your keystore, your name, organization, and address. The public/private key pair generated by keytool is saved to your keystore and will be used to sign Java Applets and applications. This key is never sent to VeriSign and is required to sign code. VeriSign encourages you to make a copy of the public/private key pair and store it in a safe deposit box or other secure location. If the key is lost or stolen, contact VeriSign immediately to have it revoked.

DRV,
that helps clear up the Keystore and Alias part, but I don't know what program to throw this command line into.
I downloaded the J2S and installed it, but I don't get any new programs from it. There's a folder for it on my C drive, but there are no executable files to run Keytool. Where do I put this command? Or what program should this be entered into?
