Sorry, but I don’t understand this ‘word salad’ (“system wide CA keystore”, 
etc.).

I still don’t understand why RTSP clients need to be given their own 
certificate (externally, before the TLS process even begins).  Everybody else 
who uses RTSP with SRTP assumes that the RTSP servers have proper certificates 
installed.  I don’t know what makes your environment different (special).

It seems that I’m going to have to rely on someone else giving me a good 
explanation, before I make any changes to the supplied LIVE555 code.
