Description

There are various ways to inject keystore and truststore for the application. In some cases, some conflicts could prevent the application from working as expected. Re-evaluate the generation and handling of keystore and truststore and improve as possible.

Open Liberty runtime also supports providing certificates as env var to establish trust. Switch to this mechanism if possible: https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/reference/feature/transportSecurity-1.0.html#_provide_certificates_from_an_environment_variable_or_a_file
