OpenSAML user discussion

["Jason Countryman" <>]

Thank you both, you guys were right on.  Changed the packaged to java.security.cert.X509Certificate and my code looks like this now:

CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");

X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(inStream);                 

inStream.close();                 

privateCredential.setEntityCertificate(cert);

You guys rock.
