Trust anchor collection
View a list of keystore objects that contain trusted root certificates. These objects are used for certificate path validation of incoming X.509-formatted security tokens. Keystore objects within trust anchors contain trusted root certificates used by the CertPath API to validate the trust of a certificate chain.
