Description
It would be useful to create a new option (ex -cacerts) that can be used to access the cacerts keystore without specifically specifying the location. The cacerts file is currently in the lib/security directory, which is intended to be for implementation-specific files. Hiding its location would give us more flexibility to change the location of the cacerts file or its type in the future.
