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

Problem was in

\jdks\ibm_sdk50\lib\security\local_policy.jar
\jdks\ibm_sdk50\lib\security\US_export_policy.jar

Default ones that had come with the download bundle were restrictive. I just
replaced them with the JRE1.4 ones and everything works fine now. In the
link that Don provided they mention you can create your own policy files (my
guess is that jar signing and cacert modification will be required) - I will
give that a try and let you all know.

Thanks for you help,

Andi
