Class KeyStoreAccessZone10FS

java.lang.Object
  pygar.identity_authority.KeyStoreAccess
      pygar.zoneable.KeyStoreAccessZone10FS

public class KeyStoreAccessZone10FS
extends KeyStoreAccess

DONOT USE THIS CLASS - NEVER WORKED! The KeyStoreAccessZone10FS class implements the KeyStoreAccess abstract class keystore on a local file store in zone10.

It has proven impossible to make this class work with the available implementation from of the JRE 1.6. The documentation claims that the JRE KeyStore can store a secret key but when you try it, the JRE itself throws and exception after writing out an error message that it will accept *only* private keys and certificates.

Currently, this class does not work and has not been tested. There would be many limitations if it worked: It was developed for a demonstration and contains password information that should not be present in production code. It also assumes the special directory structure of the demonstration. Also, note that it must be initialized with the name of the current application: that is,the alias of the current user in the keystore.
