I tried to changed the password of the truststore and connection was not established.

I am using openfire 4.9.2 with java 11.

I am getting the below warn:

Thanks for reporting this. What you’re seeing is a failure to instantiate the fallback trust manager (which is being attempted, as the original trust manager failed to initialize. From the log message, the class being initialized is the original trust manager. Sadly, we can’t see why the original attempt failed. I’ve created a ticket in our bugtracker to ensure that in the future, we are properly logging why the original initialization fails (OF-3177).

I’m not sure why this is occurring in your environment. From what I can tell, it should work with the original initialization. It could be caused by a version mismatch or partial upgrade of Openfire - check if you’ve got a ‘clean’ install, without multiple versions of the xmppserver library in your lib folder. It’s also possible that the truststore files (in the security folder of Openfire) are not accessible by the user that is running the Openfire process. Check for file permissions.

In any case, I’d suggest you upgrade to the latest version of Openfire.

I reused the keystore and truststore from Openfire 4.7.5 in Openfire 4.9.2, and everything appears to work. Does this cause any functional or security issues?

I don’t think that that is a problem. The format of the keystore didn’t change. The content of the store might be different (if you installed new certificates), but that would be rather obvious.

If the old files work, then it’s likely that the new files either were corrupted somehow, or didn’t have the correct file permissions.

Good to hear that your resolved the issue.
