Please guide me, how to resolve this.

Thanks,

Hi

I think you are mixing concepts here: that "keystore" is not for SSL / mTLS configuration, but it's for encryption. As you're not using encryption (Community doesn't have this feature) you can use default "keystore" for that.

Maybe this post can help.

Cheers.

Hey Vikas,

From Alfresco 6.2 the Keystore configurations has been changed a little , so your config in global properties should be,

dir.keystore=/alfresco/acs/keystore/metadata-keystore

Java start args for tomcat

-Dencryption.keystore.type=JCEKS
-Dencryption.cipherAlgorithm=DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding
-Dencryption.keyAlgorithm=DESede
-Dencryption.keystore.location=/alfresco/acs/keystore/metadata-keystore/keystore
-Dmetadata-keystore.password=XXXXXXX
-Dmetadata-keystore.aliases=metadata
-Dmetadata-keystore.metadata.password=XXXXXXXX
-Dmetadata-keystore.metadata.algorithm=DESede
