Benjamin Coverston commented on CASSANDRA-14064:
------------------------------------------------

Before I came looking in the project I actually created a similar patch. Is 
this something that the project is still interested in? Removing the dependency 
on JKS opens a path to integration with ACME and a bunch of other possibilities.

> Allow using file based certificates instead of keystores

> The requirement of having to use a secure archive (keystore) for your 
> certificates and keys is not very common outside the Java ecosystem. Most 
> servers will accept individual certificate and key files and will come with 
> instructions how to generate those using openssl. This should also be an 
> option for Cassandra for users who see no reason in additionally having to 
> deal with keystores.
