Trust vs Identity keystore in weblogic

Identity keystore:

This will be used to store the server certificate(private key/digital certificate pairs). When the client contacts server the digital certificate presented in this keystore will be sent.

Trust Keystore:

This will contain all the certificates for the trusted partners(ie partners). When server connects with the partner it will use this key store.

One Way SSL - Only the client authenticates the server 
- This means that the public cert of the server needs to configured in the trust store of the client for this to happen.

Two Way SSL - The client authenticates the server & the server also authenticates the client. 
- This means that the public cert of the server needs to configured in the trust store of the client for this to happen.
- Also the public cert of the client needs to be configured on the server's trust store
