Hi. I am trying to sign a jar file using Javakey and Java v1.1.3. I have set up a directives file to generate my own certificate which looks like this:

issuer.name=RIMS
subject.name=RIMS
subject.real.name=RIMS
subject.country=US
subject.org=USC
subject.org.unit=DimLab
start.date=01 Jul 2001
end.date=16 Aug 2002
serial.number=41
out.file=ServCert.cer

Each time I try to generate a certificate it asks me for issuer.cert which is meant to be the certificate number. This doesnt make sense as the certificate doesnt yet exist. If I put issuer.cert=1 into the file it then gives the error 'error parsing issuer cert number'.
Please can anyone help me. Many thanks in advance. ASCII silly question, get a silly ANSI
