[jira] [Created] (JAMES-3638) Allow alternative keystore formats like PKCS12

Benoit Tellier created JAMES-3638:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow alternative keystore formats like PKCS12
                 Key: JAMES-3638
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3638
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: IMAPServer, POP3Server, SMTPServer
            Reporter: Benoit Tellier
             Fix For: 3.7.0


In this tread we discuss enhancements to the IMAP/POP3/SMTP cryptography: https://www.mail-archive.com/server-dev@james.apache.org/msg70772.html

The need of having alternatives to the JKS keystore format was expressed and support for PKCS12 format requested.

This change is easy to carry over: have one more parameter to let people express which format they use. This looks like:

{code:java}
     <tls socketTLS="false" startTLS="false">
         <keystore>file://conf/keystore</keystore>
         <keystoreType>PKCS12</keystoreType>
         <secret>yoursecret</secret>
         <provider>org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider</provider>
         <algorithm>SunX509</algorithm>
     </tls>
{code}

Generation then becomes:

{code:java}
$ keytool -genkey -alias james -keyalg RSA  -storetype PKCS12  -keystore keystore
{code}
