# File Based Trust Manager Provider

The file-based trust manager provider obtains the trusted certificates from a trust store file.

The trust store file can be in either JKS (the default Java key store format) or PKCS#12 (a standard certificate format) form.

## Parent

The File Based Trust Manager Provider object inherits from [Trust Manager Provider](objects-trust-manager-provider.html).

## File Based Trust Manager Provider properties

You can use configuration expressions to set property values at startup time. For details, see [Property value substitution](expressions.html).
