Make all truststore and keystore elements available in the custom resource - not just HTTP listener / input (ingress)

Currently in the IBM App Connect Custom Resource a keystore and truststore can be specified for the ‘forceHTTPS’ keys and certs. However, this only influences the PKI / TLS setup for the HTTP Listener configuration (fine for the HTTP Input node, doesn't work for the HTTP Request node), many other configurable certificates and keys cannot be allocated at deploy time in the custom resource e.g. JVM keystores / truststores used to establish trust chains for egress e.g. HTTP Request nodes etc Request is to make all truststore and keystore elements available in the custom resource e.g. JVM, ELKConnection available to be added. Additionally, where necessary generate the required file from a key and certificate e.g. the HTTPS: keystoreFile: /myKeystore.p12 rather than having to supply a P12 file.

    Idea / RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this suggestion, we agree that the wording in the documentation of the property "spec.forceFlowHTTPS.enabled" should be improved to highlight that the parameter only applies to inbound traffic rather than egress (the parameter indicates whether to force all HTTP Input nodes and SOAP Input nodes in all deployed flows, including their usage for inbound connections to Applications, REST APIs and Integration Services, should use TLS). We apologise for this confusion and we'll update the docs at the next earliest available opportunity. Regarding the wider scope of the suggestion we agree that extending support to receive keystore/truststore files rather than the certificate and key files would improve usability, and that it would also be helpful to cover other transports. Status of the suggestion is moved to Future Consideration.
