Well, I'm curious: what error exactly?  I would think that whatever you
supplied to the tool wouldn't matter.  Since the KeyStore impl is
case-insensitive, it ought not matter what the case was when you
created it vs what is configured, etc.  If you create the alias as
"FooBar", the entry will get returned regardless of whether the caller
supplies the alias as "FooBar" or "foobar" or "FOOBAR" or whatever.

At least that's what I think regarding the KeyStore itself.  It's
possible we might have  bug somewhere else in the calling code related
to case-sensitivity.  I'm not that familiar with the DataSealer stuff.
