Enhance JVM Keystore resiliency if bad certificate encountered

Today, a JVM that utilizes SSL will earmark a keystore/keyring as invalid if any certificate within the keystore/keyring is missing a private key, regardless of it other certificates are valid and the problematic certificate is not even used within the Java environment. For JVMs within CICS, this exposes a Java deficiency that CICS native overcomes. When CICS encounters a bad certificate, it complains, but then continues to let other certificate within the keystore/keyring be utilized. Thus, a single bad certificate could make the entire keystore/keyring invalid for Java while CICS could simply fail on that one certificate. The JVM should be enhanced to be more resilient like CICS native is.

    .Keystore.load is implemented to conform to behavior documented by Oracle at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/index.html?java/security/KeyStore.html . Customers expect this behavior to be consistent from release to release, so it will not be modified. However, a new class could be considered implementing the behavior as outlined in the RFE requirement, to continue processing after encountering a bad certificate and tracking those certificates as part of the KeyStore implementation. This requirement will therefore be treated as a candidate for future consideration.
