File Based Key Manager Provider

The File Based Key Manager Provider can be used to obtain the server certificate from a key store file on the local file system.

Multiple file formats may be supported, depending on the providers supported by the underlying Java runtime environment. The key store PIN protects the keystore itself while the private key PIN is used to access private keys. If the private key PIN is not specified its value defaults to that of the key store PIN.
