org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Failed to start bean 'webServerStartStop'; nested exception is org.springframework.boot.web.server.WebServerException: Unable to start embedded Tomcat server

[nikhilpatil9099]

Respected @wilkinsona,
It was great to work with the Springboot framework with Okta SSO integration but faced some issues in it. As I created a keystore.jks file and configured it in the application. properties file and followed the issue in which you mention the solution. I tried with all of them still not working. Please help me out.

[https://github.com//issues/9089]

1. tried changing the path of keystore.jks file
2. keystore.jks was generated with the same java 1.8 version and used in the same java version.
   keytool -genkey -v -keystore keystore.jks -alias spring -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
3. given the path of keystore.jks file from src/main/resources

Any leads will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

please check the configuration

server.port = 8443
server.ssl.enabled = true
server.ssl.key-alias = spring
server.ssl.key-store = keystore.jks
server.ssl.key-store-password = nikhil

security.saml2.metadata-url = https://dev-12727091.okta.com/app/exk2ahq9olbjVoMmW5d7/sso/saml/metadata

You have configured your application to look for the keystore.jks file at C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Office_work\mediorbis_springboot_workspace\okta-sso-demo\keystore.jks but it's not there. You either need to correct your configuration or copy the file to the expected location.
