Issue/Introduction

Caused by: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.InvalidConfigurationException: SSL key store is specified, but key store password is not specified.

Resolution

In the em.properties file the line for the keystore password is missing.

em.kafka.ssl.keystore.password=<password>

Update the em.properties to add that line and restart the Event Manager. 

 

Also confirm that the keystore file has world readable permissions.
