Java Control Panel - Keystore Files
Q
What keystore files are used to hold certificates managed by Java Control Panel? I want to manage them directly using the "keytool" command?

From each user point of view, there are 2 Java certificate keystore files on a Windows system:
1. System-Level Signer CA Certificates Keystore:
Location: "\Program Files\java\jre7\lib\security\cacerts" Password: "changeit" Contents: All signer CA certificates known at the time of Java release
2. User-Level Trusted Certificates Keystore
Location: "\Users\xyz\AppData\LocalLow\sun\Java\Deployment\security\trusted.certs" Password: "" Contents: Empty by default
You can manage both keystore files either with "Java Control Panel" interface, or with "keytool" commands.
