Author Developer Guide | 261Figure 114: Oxygen XML Author Component deployed as a Java appletGenerate a Testing Certificate For Signing an AppletAll jar files of an applet deployed on a remote Web server must be signed with the same certificate before the applet isdeployed. The following steps describe how to generate a test certificate for signing the jar files. We will use the toolcalled keytool which is included in the Oracle's Java Development Kit.1. Create a keystore with a RSA encryption key.Invoke the following in a command line terminal:keytool -genkey -alias myAlias -keystore keystore.pkcs -storetype PKCS12-keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -dname "cn=your name here, ou=organization unitname, o=organization name, c=US"This command creates a keystore file called keystore.pkcs. The certificate attributes are specified in the dnameparameter: common name of the certificate, organization unit name (for example Purchasing or Sales Department),organization name, country.2. Generate a self-signed certificate.Invoke the following in a command line terminal:keytool -selfcert -alias myAlias -keystore keystore.pkcs -storetype PKCS123. Optionally display the certificate details in a human readable form.First, the certificate must be exported to a separate file with the following command:keytool -export -alias myAlias -keystore keystore.pkcs -storetype PKCS12 -filecertfile.cer
