Absolutely. And switching away from JCEKS/JKS files is a good idea.
They never should have existed in the first place.

You want to use certificateKeystoreType="PKCS12" and
certificateKeystoreFile="C:/certs/truststore.pfx". Don't use
backslashes. They will ruin your life. (But in this case, it should
not matter which kind of slash you use.)

I notice that you have another thread where you are trying to use
tcnative. If you are using tcnative with the APR connector, you cannot
use keystores such as the above. But you are specifically using the
NIO2 protocol, so you will be using the OpenSSL JSSE provider, so I
think you are okay.

Change to truststoreFile="C:/certs/trustStore.PFX".

Change to certificateKeystoreFile and make sure to set
certificateKeystoreType="PKCS12". Also
certificateKeystorePassword="password".

Hope that helps.
