REM generate a phony self-signed certificate

REM -keyalg DSA for JDK 1.2 compatibility, private-public pair.
REM However RSA is what most modern certs use.
REM see http://docs.sun.com/source/816-5539-10/app_dn.htm for construction of distinguished name
REM create private/public key pair
keytool -genkey -storepass bobjoemagee -keyalg DSA -alias saliencescert2008dsa -dname "CN=saliences.com, OU=Java Code, O=saliences.com, L=Toronto, ST=Ontario, C=CA, EMAILADDRESS=admin@saliences.com DC=saliences, DC=com" -validity 999

REM generate the self-signed certificate containing public key
keytool -selfcert  -storepass bobjoemagee -alias saliencescert2008dsa  -validity 999

REM export the self-signed certificate in x.509 printable format, public key only.
REM Prior to Java 1.6 use -export instead of -exportcert
keytool -exportcert  -storepass bobjoemagee -alias saliencescert2008dsa -rfc -file saliencescert2008dsa.cer
