Configuring Jetty with SSL/TLS and Keystore

Question

I have created key and certificate, signed by root CA using OpenSSL. I'm trying to use server.key file as keystore and performing it in code:

private fun setupHttps(server : Server, port: Int) {
val https = HttpConfiguration()
https.addCustomizer(SecureRequestCustomizer())

val sslFactory = SslContextFactory()
sslFactory.keyStorePath = Paths.get(System.getProperty("user.dir"), "..", "server.key").toString()
sslFactory.setKeyStorePassword("password")

val sslConnector = ServerConnector(
    server,
    SslConnectionFactory(sslFactory, "http/1.1"),
    HttpConnectionFactory(https)
)

sslConnector.port = port
server.connectors = arrayOf(sslConnector)

}

But I had this exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: no valid keystore

Answer 1

I believe this is a problem with your path / location of the keystore. This exception is thrown when the keystore is not found, which is kind of confusing.
