After enabling 'Use SSL to client' in the VSM and deploying it to the VSE, the VSM stops with the following exceptions:
All supported DevTest releases.
When one of the SSL properties is not properly set in the properties files it can cause the VSE to have issues initializing the SSLContext class.
The issue can also happen if there are any corrupted files in vseDeploy/VSE_2013 folder.
1. Open the local.properties file and search for SSL properties enabled.
Verify if the path and password, for the keystores provided are correct.
ssl.server.cert.path=C:/mycertpath/keystore.jks
ssl.server.cert.pass=passphrase
uncomment the properties, restart the VSE and try deploying the HTTPS VSM.
For more information regarding the SSL properties, please refer to section "Local Properties File" then choose the "SSL Properties" link in the documentation of the DevTest release you are running.
