Vamsavardhana Reddy commented on GERONIMO-2015:
-----------------------------------------------
Sun's PKCS12 implementation does not allow storing trusted certificate entries
in a keystore. This will be a problem if one wants to configure ClientAuth for
HTTPS, etc.
> Let's replace JKS to PKCS12 key store type

> Hello
> Let's replace JKS to PKCS12 key store type; because PKCS12 is widely used key
> store and Geronimo may not work on non-Sun VMs.
> To fix this problem I have created the patch for Geronimo sources.
> In brief the patch (attached) replaces JKS to PKCS12 key store type in
> configurations files.
> PKCS12 format of key store file is not java-specific and can be created and
> read by other programs, e.g. Internet Explorer. In addition PKCS12 exists in
> Bouncy Castle (http://www.bouncycastle.org) security provider, while JKS is
> Sun specific key store and does not exist in Bouncy Castle.
> Also it is needed to replace JKS to PKCS12 keystore file (attached) to
> assemblies/j2ee-tomcat-server/src/var/security,
> assemblies/j2ee-installer/src/var/security,
> assemblies/j2ee-jetty-server/src/var/security directories. Key store file was
> generating using JKSToPKCS12 class (attached). This class transfers key and
> certificate of Geronimo from JKS to PKCS12.
> After I apply this patch to Geronimo 1.0 sources and build Geronimo I can
> login to Geronimo console over https.
