             Summary: Need mechanism for client truststore and keystore 
retrieval
                 Key: SLIDER-802
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLIDER-802
             Project: Slider
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client, security
            Reporter: Jonathan Maron
            Assignee: Jonathan Maron


For applications that take advantage of the certificate store generation 
feature, there may be a need for the client's to obtain truststores and, 
optionally, keystores to successfully communicate via SSL to the server-side 
application components.

One possible approach is a CLI option:

slider ssl-support --keystore <path for generated file> --subj <DN for client>

Some key points:

1)  Could use the localhost from where the client is invoked to create the 
subject DN (CN=<localhost name>) if no subject is specified

2)  For client's to access these stores they will need access to store 
passwords.  I believe it's be most appropriate to leverage the Credential 
Provider facility.
