Thanks Manjula.
 
1) Is password for the entire pfx file or is it one per certificate inside the 
pfx key-store?
 
2) Where do I specify the password for the pfx keystore? Is it in axis2.xml or 
through an API?
 
3) Is there an open-source tool for pfx key management? I can convert an 
individual certificate to pfx format using openssl. I am looking for a tool for 
storing multiple keys
 
Thanks again,
 
Regards,
 Raghu

You need to provide the password in order to retrieve the certifcate.

The SEVER_CERT is for https clients. It has no relation to Rampart/C,
where it is focused on Message level Security.

One PEM file should contain one certificate.
