Certificate store types allow you to define types of locations to contain certificates. These locations can be defined for operations such as inventory, management, discovery, and ODKG (on-device key generation, formerly reenrollment).
Two built-in certificate store types are provided for use by the standard Keyfactor Command orchestrators. These include:
- Java Keystore
A Java KeyStore (JKS) is a file containing security certificates with matching private keys. They are often used by Java-based applications for authentication and encryption. (will be deprecated in future releases) - PEM A PEM format certificate file is a base64-encoded certificate. Since it's presented in ASCII, you can open it in any text editor. PEM certificates always begin and end with entries like ---- BEGIN CERTIFICATE---- and ----END CERTIFICATE----. PEM certificates can contain a single certificate or a full certifiate chain and may contain a private key. In general, extensions of .cer and .crt are certificate files with no private key, .key is a separate private key file, and .pem is both a certificate and private key. File
Custom certificate store types can be created for use with custom extensions (see Certificate Store Type Operations).

Keyfactor provides two sets of documentation: the On-Premises Documentation Suite and the Managed Services Documentation Suite. Which documentation set is accessed is determined by the Application Settings: On-Prem Documentation setting (see Application Settings: Console Tab).
