[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-14141) eliminate JKS keystore from solr SSL docs

["Robert Muir (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14141?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17002488#comment-17002488 ] 

Robert Muir commented on SOLR-14141:
------------------------------------

The funniest part about this is that this step 1 is really creating a pkcs12 keystore. It is in fact not jks :)
And the next step 2 that "converts" it is just converting pkcs12 <-> pkcs12.

This craziness currently works because of how java's default security config is defined:

{noformat}
#
# Default keystore type.
#
keystore.type=pkcs12

#
# Controls compatibility mode for JKS and PKCS12 keystore types.
#
# When set to 'true', both JKS and PKCS12 keystore types support loading
# keystore files in either JKS or PKCS12 format. When set to 'false' the
# JKS keystore type supports loading only JKS keystore files and the PKCS12
# keystore type supports loading only PKCS12 keystore files.
#
keystore.type.compat=true
{noformat}

> The first step is currently to create a JKS keystore. The next step immediately converts the JKS keystore into PKCS12, so that openssl can then be used to extract key material in PEM format for use with curl.
> Now that PKCS12 is java's default keystore format, why not omit step 1 entirely? What am I missing? PKCS12 is a more commonly understood/standardized format.
