Yes, I generate the CSR using keytool, copy it to a floppy and then try to read it from the OpenCA Server - It doesn't work!
When I generate the CSR using the Pub Interface of OpenCA, it works; but for my application, I would like to do it from keytool!!!!

Hi,

I am trying to generate a user certificate signed by my CA from the corresponding Certificate Signing Request generated by a third party tool (keytool from Java). Once I generate my CSR using keytool and save it to a floppy, OpenCA can no more get this "request" from the floppy! once I start the upload operation from the floppy, the servers gives me the following error message:

           Test the archive ...

/bin/tar -tvf /dev/fd0

           FAILED


           Testing archive failed!

...although the download/upload operation from/to the floppy of a Certificate Signing Request succeeds if this csr has been generated using the OpenCA  Server!!!!

Sorry, do you write the CSR from java's keytool to a floppy by yourself?

The correct way to send a PKCS#10 request to OpenCA is the following:

Pub interface:
Request a certficate
--> server request (PKCS#10 formatted request)
--> upload your file
