Environment

DevTest 10.8.1

Cause

This is happening due to the migration of our internal framework from Wildfly to Quarkus which handle the secrets in a different way.

Resolution

Update the iam.properties file with the plain text password for all the password properties including the DB password if set for an external database. 

Then restart IAM service, it should come up fine.

For the default keystores it would be like below:

iam.keystore=${IAM_HOME}certs/webreckeys.ks
iam.keystore.password=passphrase
iam.truststore=${IAM_HOME}certs/iam-truststore.ks
iam.truststore.password=passphrase
iam.vault.keystore=${DEVTEST_HOME}/certificates/devtest-keystore.p12
iam.vault.password=passphrase
