Could somebody advice if it is safe to use digital certs generated by Sun's Keytool in production?
WebLogic has a similar tool (CertGen) and they advice NOT to use it in prod.
But there is nothing said about prod usage for keytool on Sun's website.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
I am facing some problem when i tried to use keytool with a cert.
When i use the keytool below jdk1.4 versions I am getting problem.
So be careful when you use keytool with certain certificates.

I could be wrong, but I think the advice is not to use the generator in production, but the certificates are fine. Although, if they say not to use the certs, it's probably simply because they're advising you use a cert given by verisign or one of those groups.
