Vasily Zakharov commented on GERONIMO-3757:
-------------------------------------------

Vamsavardhana,

I've tested the patch, it seems to work fine.

The only problem I see with it is with keystores that I put to 
var/security/keystores directory manually, as files. Those keystores are 
visible through the Keystore portlet, but when I try to unlock them, 
NullPointerException occurs as the keystore type is null.

I'm not sure if those keystores should be visible at all, as keystore type for 
them is unknown - probably it would be wiser to hide them and ignore them, 
unless they're properly described in configs.

> For now (r612905), Geronimo is hardcoded to use JKS keystore type, which 
> prevents Geronimo from running on Harmony or other JDKs that have no JKS 
> implementation:
> org.apache.geronimo.security.keystore.FileKeystoreInstance, line 635:
>             KeyStore tempKeystore = KeyStore.getInstance(JKS);
> org.apache.geronimo.security.keystore.FileKeystoreManager, line 364:
>             KeyStore keystore = 
> KeyStore.getInstance(FileKeystoreInstance.JKS);
> To workaround this issue, one can change JKS to KeyStore.getDefaultType() 
> (this returns "BKS" for Harmony) or particular other keystore type, but this 
> requires source recompilation. Replacing 
> var/security/keystores/geronimo-default with the proper keystore type file is 
> not a problem.
> A proper solution seems to apply the fix above to use the JDK-default 
> keystore type, and provide FileKeystoreInstance with an additional 
> configuration option, keystoreType, that would allow to change the keystore 
> type through config.xml without recompilation, like this:
> <module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/server-security-config/2.0.2/car">
>   <gbean name="geronimo-default">
>     <attribute name="keystoreType">PKCS12</attribute>
>     <attribute 
> name="keystorePath">var/security/keystores/geronimo-pkcs12</attribute>
>   </gbean>
> </module>
> This issue if a follow up to GERONIMO-2015.
