Problem opening pkcs12 files using IBM's JRE 1.5.0 on Windows

Hi all,

 

does anybody have an idea why this (trivial) piece of code

 

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    java.security.KeyStore keyStore =
java.security.KeyStore.getInstance("pkcs12");

    java.io.InputStream is = new java.io.FileInputStream("\\test2048.pfx");

    keyStore.load(is, "test".toCharArray());

}

 

will throw the exception "java.io.IOException: Private key decryption error:
(java.security.InvalidKeyException: Illegal key size)"?

 

**This will work fine with all Sun's JREs and also with IBM's JRE 1.4.**

 

The key is RSA 2048 bit (attached) but the exception occurs when using
smaller keys as well.

 

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Andi Mullaraj
