Storage location of keybox.jceks

[tobru]

The key store file keybox.jceks is stored on a place which makes it very hard to persist when deploying KeyBox f.e. on OpenShift.

All persistent data of KeyBox seem to be stored under keybox/jetty/keybox/WEB-INF/classes/keydb/ (afaics) but keybox.jceks under keybox/jetty/keybox/WEB-INF/classes/keybox.jceks. This path is not persistent and everytime the container gets re-deployed it loses it's jceks file. Please make this path either configurable or move the file to the keydb directory.

Ok - I can see that.. What about the KeyBoxConfig.properties and jaas.conf (if you use it)?

[tobru]

Of course it would be great if the location could be configured of these files, but as I generate the file KeyBoxConfig.properties during container startup (see https://tobru.ch/keybox-on-openshift/ for more information) I don't care much. What would be much more important: Configuration of KeyBox should be possible using environment variables, this would make things much easier. Should I open a new issue for that?

Added a JAVA_OPTION for this.

-DCONFIG_DIR=\<whatever dir\>

it will move the jaas.conf and KeyBoxConfig.properties files there too.
