Environment

Release : 3.3

Component : PRIVILEGED ACCESS MANAGEMENT

Cause

This usually happens on Windows environment.
extension_framework.properties file has invalid "extension.keystore.file" value.
As a result, capamef application fails to access the custom connector keystore hence the "Encryption Key does not exist"

Resolution

Bad sample


Good sample:


note the "\\" instead of "\" in the filepath.
