A keystore is a file that can contain trusted certificates and combinations
of private keys with their corresponding certificates. The information within
the keystore is organized by alias, for example:

tomcat (required): stores the public/private key pair and the Signed
TLS Certificate from the CA

root (required): stores the CA root certificate information

intermediate (required for some CAs): stores the CA intermediate
certificate information
