problem when decrypting (is this a bug)

Hi

Actually I resolved my problem but I wanted to know if this is a bug, report it to Sun, and also I want if someone encounters this problem, may be this thread help her/him

I create a JKS file (keystore file) using keytool

keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias myalias -keypass kpass -storepass spass -keysize 1024 -keystore keystorefile.jks -validity 365

and then I want to export this keystore to a cert file

keytool -storepass spass -alias myalias -export -keystore keystorefile.jks -file certfile.cer

but when I decrypt using this keystore I get following error

Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect

so after a toiling I understand I should remove -keypass and -storepass options from the command line and let the program ask for them. so the problem has gone

do you think it is a bug? or somewhere I made mistake?

How are you accessing the keystore?

You should not need to do this.

Almost certainly a bug in YOUR code but since we can't see it ...

no I am using Apache Xml Security, and I have no code written by myself.

I tried it more than ten times but every time it failed, untill I remove those options from keytool

I took a search on internet and It seems a bug in jdk I am not sure.

now with this latest keystore Apache Xml security works fine. but with those option not

you ask how I access it, I just introduce the file name to Apache XML Security,

I use 'keytool' and class KeyStore using a 'store' passphrase and a 'key' passphrase. I have no problems so if you are having a problem then it is probably something in the way you use Apache XML or in Apache XML. Ask on the Apache XML site.
