Question about generating key pair






     Hi every one,

      could you please let me have the following information :

     -When I run the Scinit program with either the 'C' or 'R' argument, it
     seemed be good: the object stores and the tokens (VSC) are
     successfully initialized and the Key pair are generated with the DSA's
     Algorithms.
     But I'm using a real smart card that support only RSA's Algorithms, so
     I need to generate RSA Key pair. To do this, I use the scinit program
     with [RSA] parameter, I got an error in the MSDOS Command prompt :
     " error ** of generating Keypair" ( I've tried this several times with
     either the Virtual or the Real Smart Card, always with the same result
     (error...)

     -Other error using the Java GUI :when I create a request, I can't
     select RSA Algorithm, In fact, there is only "id-dsa" as the algorithm
     for certificate.Is it natural?
     And when I attempted to validate or to approve the certificate at the
     CA, I got an error that said: "The specified Signature Algorithm is
     not Supported by this server's policy" [CA CREATE CERTIFICATE ERROR]
     So my question is :

        1) IS the RSA Algorithm supported by Jonah? and if it's the case
           How can I do to use it ? or have you any idea what went wrong?
           Because there are all the code source implementing the RSA
           Algorithm, and also they are specified in the INI.files ?

        2) Once the certificate is generated, I can't edit it, So is there
           any tool enable us to Parse this certificate.

     Thanks for your help

     Rahim
