I've inherited someone's java project and haven't touched java for almost 10 years now. We started with a clean workspace, opened up the code, and are having trouble with the Keystore file. We used the cmd prompt to create a new keystore file, and put in a new password, but the errors are complaining that the password verification failed. I don't know the previous password though, can anyone guide on what we should do?

We're running jdk 1.6.0.18 (I know it's old, but it's we have to at least go into maintenance mode before we update .. .. if we go to 1.6.0.45 that may require code changes right?), struts 1.38, tomcat 6.0

My errors/server logs are as follows:

Answer 1

You should be able to change the password that Tomcat uses to open the keystore. See the Tomcat documentation here.

Specifically, in the <tomcat install location>/conf/server.xml file, find the Connector xml tag where the keystore file is specified and change the keystorePass attribute.

Alternatively, look in the configuration file for what the password is currently set to and change your keystore's password to that.
