    <para>
        This section guides through the details of configuration of Keystores and Trsustores
        required for enabling of SSL transport and Client Certificate Authentication on Broker ports.
        The details how to configure SSL on Broker ports are provided in <xref linkend="Java-Broker-Ports"/>.

            SSL ports can be configured with different Keystores.

            The "Keystore certificate alias" field is an optional way of specifying which certificate the broker should use
            if the keystore contains multiple entries. Optionally "Key manager factory algorithm" and "Key store type" can
            be specified on Keystore creation.

                The password of the certificate used by the Broker <emphasis role="bold">must</emphasis>
