About
A keystore is a database of key material. ie:
- LDAP identity
You only need it:
- if you are a server that want to implements SSL,
- or if the server requires client authentication.
A keystore contains:
- key entries (an entity's identity and its private key)
- and trusted certificate entries (only a public key in addition to the entity's identity). Thus, a trusted certificate entry cannot be used where a private key is required, such as in a javax.net.ssl.KeyManager.
