Should the JAVA_HOME also have forward slashes?

Also we are using progra~1 instead of program files due to the space causing issues.

For MS ACtive directory should we point the keystorefile to our cacerts file or the user home directory?

Hi @Brian McGovern

As far as I can tell from the error you get, you added a keystoreFile attribute to the Connector part of your server.xml configuration file (and its value is wrong). Doing so is intended to enable HTTPS on your Crowd server, which means that your Crowd server is able to receive HTTPS requests.

According to your question, this is not what you're aiming at here. You actually want your Crowd server to connect to your Active Directory using LDAPS. The only thing you need to do here is to add the certificate of the CA that signed your Active Directory's certificate to your JDK's cacerts file.

Thus, first of all please remove your custom configuration in server.xml. Then import the CA's certificate in your JDK by following step 3 of Atlassian's documentation at https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/configuring-an-ssl-certificate-for-microsoft-active-directory-63504388.html#ConfiguringanSSLCertificateforMicrosoftActiveDirectory-Step3.ImporttheServerCertificate

If you also need to use Crowd over HTTPS, please follow Atlassian's documentation at https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowd/configuring-crowd-to-work-with-ssl-151520306.html
