XML Signing Certificates Preferences

Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin provides two types of keystores for certificates that are used for digital signatures of XML documents: Java Keystore (JKS) and Public-Key Cryptography Standards version 12 (PKCS-12). A keystore file is protected by a password. To configure a certificate keystore, open the Preferences dialog box and go to XML > XML Signing Certificates. You can customize the following parameters of a keystore:
