Review the vmware‑proxy logs

Check the logs in the following directory on the Access Proxy:

/var/data/logs/

Errors similar to the following indicate a keystore password issue:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect
Caused by: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Password verification failed

Verify the correct keystore password

Run the following command in your environment to inspect the keystore:

keytool -list -keystore /var/data/conf/keystore

When prompted, enter the password.

• If the password is correct, the keystore contents list successfully.
• If it's incorrect, the utility returns an error.

Update the password in your deployment configuration

Edit your docker-compose.yml file and update the environment variable with the verified password:

SERVER_SSL_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD=<correct_keystore_password>

Restart the Access Proxy service

Run the following commands to apply the change:

docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d

After updating the correct keystore password and restarting the service:

• The vmware‑proxy component should start without SSL-related errors.
• You should no longer see keystore or password verification failures in the logs.
