Loading KeyStore on Windows JDK acts differently than on Mac JDK
Our company has been required to integrate with a 3rd party vendor which requires 'client authentication' to their server using a Digital ID certificate (Class I). After purchasing our Digital ID from Verisign (which is installed in Firefox), we export the certificate to a PKCS12 format (which includes the private and public key). This file is what we use to load our KeyStore object. Here is the code:
URL url =new URL("digital_id.p12");
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
InputStream isDigitalId = url.openStream();
ks.load(isDigitalId,"abc123".toCharArray());
Here's what is baffling and I've googled for 3 days looking for the reasoning behind the inconsistent behavior. When the above code is compiled on my mac which is running JDK 1.5.0_07 (build 1.5.0_07-164), my junit tests and everything work perfectly. If I create an executable jar which calls the code above, IT WORKS ON ALL PLATFORMS when I run the jar file.
Now, when the above code is compiled and the junit tests are executed on my Windows machine running JDK 1.5.0_12 (build 1.5.0_12-b04), the unit tests throw exceptions. When the test is compiled and built into an executable jar file and run on Windows, it also throws the same exception which is:

Has anyone ever come across this or have any insight on how we can get this code to run properly on Windows as well as linux?
Thank you.
