# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# If the PEM is encrypted, provide a password.  Otherwise pass an empty string for the password.

# Convert to a JavaKeyStore object.
# The alias, if a non-empty string, will be applied to the 1st private key or 
# certificate.  All other keys and/or certificates will be assigned an auto-generated
# alias.
