??? I added this in the Standalone Application Setting.
So it IS present and LC knows where it is! Not?
Maybe I misunderstand this completely...

Isn't that the meaning of an ALIAS? 
That it can be named differently than the original?

I did, only used ASCII and UNDERSCORES, NO spaces and umlauts etc.

I did and got different errors! :-/
Oh my...

Matthias Rebbe helped me out and created a keystore file for me, 
will test it tomorrow and report here about success or fail. :-)
