    Hello,

    The IBM JDK supports it, indeed. We have been using PKCS12 keystores in our ZOWE instances until support for RACF/TSS came in version 1.15 (IIRC).

    You may find some hints in here:

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/inline-files/WP101579_-_File_based_Keystores_for_WAS_zOS.pdf

    It's about WAS but the examples with Java may be valid to understand.

    Regards,

    I believe it is supported.  There is a step in the install of the IBM Debugger, that creates a sample keystore of that type.
