Hi,

I have JDK1.2 and IAIK-JCE2.0 installed on my PC. I was trying to use keytool
to generate key pairs for RSA algorithm. As suggested I added the following
line to java.security file to add IAIK as a provider.

security.provider.2=iaik.security.provider.IAIK

But when I tried to create a keypair giving keyalg as RSA , it gave me the following error:

keytool error : KeyPairGenerator not available

Could you please tell me what else should have been done to make it work.

Thanking You,

Seema Bandyopadhyay.
