I have the following java pgm running in a q-shell.
It is attempting to connect to another site via https, and needs to
identify itself with a certificate issued by the other site (Motorweb).
The certificate is in PKCS12 keystore format, but program execution fails
at the commented line with:

 java.io.IOException: Keystore type is invalid


Any ideas?
