The following command line fails (we are using a HSM but that's not relevant to 
the question)

java -Dprotect=module -DignorePassphrase=true sun.security.tools.keytool.Main 
-certreq -alias myalias
     -file c:\mycerts\certs\cert23may.csr.pem -keypass 000000 -dname

          -keystore c:\mycerts\private\may18_2017.ncsw -sigalg SHA256withECDSA 
-storepass 000000 -storetype nCipher.sworld
        
keytool error: java.io.IOException: Invalid keyword "DESCRIPTION"

My guess is that it doesn't know the OID for description, which seems to be 2.5.4.13.
