In order to facilitate the secure setup of NiFi, you can use the
`tls-toolkit` command line utility to automatically generate the required
keystores, truststore, and relevant configuration files. This is especially
useful for securing multiple NiFi nodes, which can be a tedious and error-prone
process.
+Note: JKS keyStores and trustStores are recommended for NiFi. This tool
allows the specification of other KeyStore types on the command line but will
ignore a type of PKCS12 for use as the trustStore as that format has some
compatibility issues between BouncyCastle and Oracle implementations.

To be consistent with the rest of the documentation, "keystore" and
"truststore" should be capitalized as such.

> Priority: Minor
>
> When pkcs12 is used by the tls-toolkit, the resulting truststore has no
> entries when inspected by the keytool and the tls-toolkit certificate
> authority certificate is not trusted by NiFi.
> This seems to be due to the Java pkcs12 provider not supporting certificate
> entries:

> The Bouncy Castle provider does seem to support certificates but we may not
> want to explicitly use that provider from within NiFi.
