(Robert Nekic) Have you tried to generate a CSR with BC in your app? I seem to be able to do a lot of different certificate related things, but hit the ClassCastException when I try to generate a CSR.
The other route I have looked at is CoDec, but the license listed on SourceForge doesn't match the license in the code. I have contacted the developers who have said they will get back to me, but I am looking for a mitigation route if the license doesn't pan out how I would hope. Does anyone know of any other libraries that would work for certificate manipulation? The java.security.cert classes don't have any obvious way to generate a CSR, so I am not sure that will work. Also, I don't need to be able to actually generate SSL sessions using the certificates, since they are fed in to another program that handles all of that. I just need to be able to work with the certificates. On Aug 31, 7:46 am, Robert Nekic <robertne...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm using bcprov-jdk16-145 in my app and it works fine.
