KeyManagerUtils - the KeyManager is not efficient
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: NET-384
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-384
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sebb


The clientKey manager performs some of the work that could be done as part of 
creating the key store.

Since the manager is potentially called many times, it would be better to move 
the setup processing to the creation of the keystore.

This requires creating a sub-class of KeyStore, which might as well be a 
private class created by createClientKeyManager()

The calling sequence would then be:

{code}
KeyManager km = KeyManagerUtils.createClientKeyManager(
    "JKS", "/path/to/privatekeystore.jks", "storepassword", "privatekeyalias", 
"keypassword");
FTPSClient cl = new FTPSClient();
cl.setKeyManager(km);
{code}

For JKS stores with a single entry and keypassword == storepassword this would 
simplify to:

{code}
KeyManager km = 
KeyManagerUtils.createClientKeyManager("/path/to/privatekeystore.jks", 
"storepassword");
FTPSClient cl = new FTPSClient();
cl.setKeyManager(km);
{code}
