JDK-5091374 - Keystore alias is case insensitivity
Description
This is a continuation of 5091374. That bug allowed case sensitive aliases to be enabled via a system property. This approach is now considered unsuitable for compatibility reasons.

Instead, a new KeyStore algorithm should be added that is identical to JKS except for the case sensitive aliases. Algorithm name is TBD.

EVALUATION Will fix. ###@###.### 2004-09-10 The new JKS variant with case sensitive aliases is called "CaseExactJKS". If an application wants to use "CaseExactJKS" but fallback to regular "JKS" if it is not available, use code like: KeyStore ks; try { ks = Keystore.getInstance("CaseExactJKS"); } catch (KeyStoreException e) { ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS"); } ###@###.### 2004-09-15
