Vamsavardhana Reddy commented on GERONIMO-3757:
-----------------------------------------------
I thought it would be possible to determine the keystore type by trying to load
the keystore file with various keystore implementations available in the JVM.
After experimenting with IBMJDK 1.5, Sun JDK 1.5 and Harmony 5.0 M4 JRE, it
appears to me that either using default keystore type or type based on file
extension is the best option. This is applicable to only keystore files added
directly to var/security/keystores directory. The keystores created using
Keystores portlet need not have any extension in the name and can be of any
type.

> 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.
