Larry McCay commented on KNOX-566:
----------------------------------

I don't know that we can address this without switching to openssl for cert 
generation.
This happens to be a change that we are already considering in order to prepare 
for java 9 restrictions to accessing the needed classes.

The Knox generated certificates should only be used for out of the box/demo use 
and not for production.
Provisioning properly trusted certificates within a deployment should be done 
for production deployments.

[[email protected]] - do you know of any IBM jdk ability to create 
appropriately sized keys? The last I saw the oracle/open jdk are both rather 
crippled there. Perhaps there has been some progress there but I haven't seen 
it.
