Darran Lofthouse commented on ELY-969:
--------------------------------------

No a key-store resource needs to return a KeyStore instance, it can't return a KeyManager instance.  Some resources do make use of the raw KeyStore.

> Add a KeyStore implementation that can use the key store password for retrieving entries.

> A KeyManager which uses a KeyStore is defined independently of the KeyStore - it is the KeyManager that has the password for the entry in the KeyStore whilst the KeyStore has the password for the overall store.
> In many cases the password used for the overall store is the same password as used for the entries.
> We should provide a KeyStore implementation that can substitute the password received.
> We may even be able to go one step further and add a password resolver which could mean a CredentialStore is used to obtain the password for different entries,
