[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-2280) FileKeystoreInstance.getKeyManager() fails when there is more than one privatekey in the store

["Vamsavardhana Reddy (JIRA)" <de...@geronimo.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2280?page=comments#action_12425970 ] 
            
Vamsavardhana Reddy commented on GERONIMO-2280:
-----------------------------------------------

With this fix,
1. A keystore can have more than one private key in unlocked state.

2. If a user creates a second private key entry (with a different password that that of the alias currently used by JettySSLConnector)  in the keystore "geronimo-default", this patch enables successful server startup.  Otherwise server startup will fail (Scenario 1 from above).

3. keyAlias field can be made editable in Jetty edit HTTPS Connectors page.

> FileKeystoreInstance.getKeyManager() fails when there is more than one privatekey in the store.
> Scenario 1:  The method will throw UnrecoverableKeyException if the all the private key entries in the keystore do not have the same password (as the entry of our interest).
> Scenario 2: Even if all the private key entries have the same password and the method returns a KeyManager, there is no control on which enrty will be used.
> To overcome this, a temporary keystore (I call it a SubKeystore) can be generated and initialized with the entry corresponding to the alias and used to init the KeyManagerFactory.
