Hi there everyone,

My application has refused to start because of a problem, I believe, with the key pair I generated using OpenSSL in Linux Mint and copied to the generated WAR files' config.properties text files.

Let me explain what I did. In the Migrating to Java 17 section of the Migration Guide for Scout 23.1, there is a script that I saved to a file and executed with a bash command in the Linux terminal.

I then copied the generated Base64 encoded private and public keys into the necessary config.properties files, ran "mvn clean verify" and then moved the WAR apps into the Tomcat server under port 8443.

When I ran the UI client application, I got the HTTP 404 exception. The content of my log files is as follows:

Hi JD

Is it possible that you have mistyped one of the property names? The error message in the client log mentions the property name "scout.auth.privatekey", when in fact, it should be "scout.auth.privateKey" (with an uppercase "K"). You should carefully check the config.properties files (you can see the path in the first line of each log file, "Reading properties from file").

Important: DO _NOT_ USE THE KEY PAIR YOU HAVE POSTED ANYMORE! As the name implies, the private key should be kept strictly confidential, because anyone with knowledge of this key can create valid signatures. To keep your server secure, it is important that you immediately create a new key pair.

Regards,
Beat

Hi Beat,

Quick update. I had to regenerate a new key pair and that is what I'm using now.

Thanks a lot.

JD
