    Description

      The KeyManagerFactory API right now has room for one password, therefore
      if there are any keys in a keystore which are protected by a different password,
      we throw:

      java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Cannot recover key
      at sun.security.provider.KeyProtector.recover(KeyProtector.java:304)
      at ...

      The workaround is to have all entries protected by the same key, but
      this may not be approrpriate in all situations. Either the API should
      change, or this should be documented.
