Alfresco 23.1 Community - keystore error: Keystores are invalid

[Marius_711]

Hi,

I've installed Alfresco Community 23.1 on Rocky Linux 9.3 (OpenJDK 21, PostgreSQL 16, Tomcat 10.1.17)- war method.

I've generated the keystore and truststore with the Alfresco-SSL-Generator with the following command:

./run.sh -alfrescoversion "community" -keysize 2048 -keystorepass "changeit" -keystoretype "PKCS12" -truststorepass "changeit" -truststoretype "PKCS12" -encstorepass "changeit" -encmetadatapass "changeit" -alfrescoformat "current"

The Tomcat config server.xml is setup like this:

    <Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
            maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true" scheme="https" secure="true"
            clientAuth="want" sslProtocol="TLS"
            connectionTimeout="240000">
                <SSLHostConfig>
                        <Certificate
                                certificateKeystoreFile="/opt/alfresco/alf_data/keystore/ssl.keystore"
                                certificateKeystorePass="changeit"
                                certificateKeystoreType="PKCS12"
                                certificateTruststoreFile="/opt/alfresco/alf_data/keystore/ssl.truststore"
                                certificateTruststorePass="changeit"
                                certificateTruststoreType="PKCS12" />
                   </SSLHostConfig>
           </Connector>

Settings regarding the truststore and keystore in alfresco config file (alfresco-global.properties file):

# ssl encryption
encryption.ssl.keystore.location=${dir.keystore}/ssl.keystore
encryption.ssl.keystore.type=PKCS12
encryption.ssl.keystore.keyMetaData.location=
encryption.ssl.truststore.location=${dir.keystore}/ssl.truststore
encryption.ssl.truststore.type=PKCS12
encryption.ssl.truststore.keyMetaData.location=
encryption.keystore.location=${dir.keystore}/keystore
encryption.keystore.type=PKCS12
encryption.keystore.keyMetaData.location=

Starting tomcat I got the following error:

Using keytool to read the keystore file is working fine, so the keystore is not tampered.

Any ideas on what is wrong here ?

[angelborroy]

The message is not related to keystore nor truststore (asymmetric cryptography, certificates).

The message is related to metadata encryption (symmetric cryptography, secret key), that is stored also on a keystore.

This is the recommended configuration for this metdata keystore:

encryption.keystore.type=JCEKS
encryption.cipherAlgorithm=DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding
encryption.keyAlgorithm=DESede
encryption.keystore.location=/usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/keystore/keystore
metadata-keystore.password=mp6yc0UD9e
metadata-keystore.aliases=metadata
metadata-keystore.metadata.password=oKIWzVdEdA
metadata-keystore.metadata.algorithm=DESede

Hi Angel,

Thanks for reply.

I've regenerated the keystore uding the ssl-tool in order to have the keystore file of type JCEKS

./run.sh -alfrescoversion "community" -keysize 2048 -keystorepass "changeit" -keystoretype "PKCS12" -truststorepass "changeit" -truststoretype "PKCS12" -encstorepass "changeit" -encmetadatapass "changeit" -alfrescoformat "classic"

and copy them in the /opt/alfresco/alf_data/keystore folder.

Also updated the alfrescco-global properties file

# ssl encryption
encryption.ssl.keystore.location=${dir.keystore}/ssl.keystore
encryption.ssl.keystore.type=PKCS12
encryption.ssl.keystore.keyMetaData.location=
encryption.ssl.truststore.location=${dir.keystore}/ssl.truststore
encryption.ssl.truststore.type=PKCS12
encryption.ssl.truststore.keyMetaData.location=
encryption.keystore.location=${dir.keystore}/keystore
encryption.keystore.type=JCEKS
encryption.cipherAlgorithm=DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding
encryption.keyAlgorithm=DESede
metadata-keystore.location=${dir.keystore}/keystore
metadata-keystore.password=changeit
metadata-keystore.aliases=metadata
metadata-keystore.metadata.password=changeit
metadata-keystore.metadata.algorithm=DESede

Now I got almost the same error (see below), the difference is the keystore type.

Hi Marius,

Not sure if you've already found a fix, but I noticed in your connector in the server.xml file you are using 

protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"

I believe this needs to be changed to

protocol="HTTP/1.1"

as of Tomcat 9 onwards when setting up Alfresco. I believe it's mentioned in this page somewhere.

Not sure if that will solve your problem but just wanted to mention it.

Good luck!

Peter

I found out the root cause - the tomcat's catalina.sh file need to be updated with the following line:

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="
-Dencryption.keystore.type=JCEKS 
-Dencryption.cipherAlgorithm=DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding 
-Dencryption.keyAlgorithm=DESede 
-Dencryption.keystore.location=<ALF_HOME>/keystore -Dmetadata-keystore.password=<password> 
-Dmetadata-keystore.aliases=metadata 
-Dmetadata-keystore.metadata.password=<passwordd>
-Dmetadata-keystore.metadata.algorithm=DESede"
