Description

Consider allowing users to import one or more certificates into the truststore only. The default location should be customizable by the user by an environment variable (i.e. TRUSTED_CERTS_DIR).

Note: At the moment, Liberty official images support importing CA cert (ca.crt) into the truststore as part of the manage TLS support, but requires tls.key and tls.crt to be specified. This option would provide flexibility to import certs into truststore only without having to provide tls.key and tls.crt.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing manage TLS support that imports ca.crt into the truststore, then trace how tls.key and tls.crt are currently required. Define the behavior for importing one or more certificates without those files, including the TRUSTED_CERTS_DIR environment variable, and verify it against the official image workflow.
