Dates in creating X.509 certificate programming without BouncyCastle sample

Question

Thank you for the certificate programming without BouncyCastle sample.
How can I set before & after certificate dates ?

Answer 1

There is deprecated method in the above solution...please find the updated code below
import sun.security.x509.*;
import java.security.*;
import javax.security.cert .*;
public class GenCert
    public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception
        CertAndKeyGen cakg = new CertAndKeyGen("RSA", "MD5WithRSA");
        cakg.generate(1024);
        PublicKey publicKey = cakg.getPublicKey();
        System.out.println(publicKey);
        PrivateKey privateKey = cakg.getPrivateKey();
        System.out.println(privateKey);
        X500Name name = new X500Name("One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six");
        System.out.println(name);
        //X509Cert cert = cakg.getSelfCert(name, 2000000); //deprecated
        java.security.cert.X509Certificate certificate = cakg.getSelfCertificate(name,2000000);
        System.out.println("cert: "+cert);
        //X509Certificate certificate = X509Certificate.getInstance(cert.getSignedCert());
        certificate.checkValidity();
        System.out.println("Issuer DN .......... " + certificate.getIssuerDN());
        System.out.println("Not after .......... " + certificate.getNotAfter());
        System.out.println("Not before ......... " + certificate.getNotBefore());
        System.out.println("Serial No. ......... " + certificate.getSerialNumber());
        System.out.println("Signature Alg. ..... " + certificate.getSigAlgName());
        System.out.println("Signature Alg. OID . " + certificate.getSigAlgOID());
        System.out.println("Subject DN ......... " + certificate.getSubjectDN());
