Oh boy, hitting myself to the head now.
I thought you could specifiy an encryptionToken OR a SignatureToken. i guess
the jira issue can be set to completed. Sorry for that...

I am using the X509 certificates with a private key.
I'm gonna give it a try with the endorsingTokens.

Tnx for your help
that's 5 stars for you!
