                <listitem>
                    <para><emphasis>File Trust Store</emphasis>. This type accepts the standard JKS
                        truststore format understood by Java and Java tools such as <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="${oracleKeytool}">keytool</link>.</para>

                        material in PEM and DER file formats. Either a path to the certificate on the server can be specified using the file:// protocol or the certificate can be uploaded with the data:// protocol</para>

                <listitem>

                        material in PEM and DER file formats. Contrary to the Non Java Trust Store this store allows the user to add multiple certificates and stores them in the broker configuration.</para>

                    <para><emphasis>Site Specific Trust Store</emphasis>. This type will download a certificate from the provided SSL/TLS enabled URL. Note that you must specify both the protocol and the port. Example: https://example.com:443</para>
