  Key Concepts: 
  A keystore reference is a type of reference used in SAP Identity Management (BC-IAM-IDM). It is a reference to a keystore, which is a secure storage location for cryptographic keys and certificates. The keystore reference is used to identify the keystore that contains the cryptographic keys and certificates needed for authentication and encryption. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a keystore reference, you must first create a keystore in SAP Identity Management. Once the keystore has been created, you can then create a keystore reference that points to the keystore. This reference can then be used in authentication and encryption processes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a keystore reference, it is important to ensure that the correct keystore is referenced. If the wrong keystore is referenced, authentication and encryption processes may fail.
