I am trying to create a key by using the following command

javakey -gk alain DSA 512

alain is the name of the trusted signer.
When i run this i get the following.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at
sun.security.provider.Main.generateKeyPair(Compiled Code)
at
sun.security.provider.Main.generateCmd(Compiled Code)
at sun.security.provider.Main.run(Compiled
Code)
at sun.security.provider.Main.main(Compiled
Code)

I am using AIX 4.3.

I have an applet that will perform local io on files. When i run the
applet with the appletviewer, it
works fine. In the {properties} file i set acl.write and acl.read. When
i run this applet from netscape
navigator i am getting a security exception. So i am trying to use
javakey to make this applet trusted
by the navigator. Am i going in the right direction?????????

Thanks,
Alain Kalil
