In my Java spring boot application, I’m using a P12 certificate and jks to connect to MQ for message reading & sending. the details of jks and p12 are stored & referred to via yml files. we need all passwords encrypted which, when I tried is throwing an error for p12 ( jks successful ).

ymlfiles are as such:

ssl:
  key-store: file path of p12
  key-password : password
  key-store-password : password
  trust-store-password: password

For client TLS Config, the class is calling the path, password as :

@value("$ssl.key-password}")
private String keypassword

similar for trust store password and keystore password

and to create ssl context :

@Bean
public SSLContext sslContext() {
SSLContext sslcont=SSLContextbuilder.create()
                                    ....

                                    .keypassword.toCharArray().....build();
}

i introduced a decryption encryption class, encrypted the password in yml & changed above code to :

@Bean
public SSLContext sslContext() {
SSLContext sslcont=SSLContextbuilder.create()
                                    ....

                                    .encryptor.decrypt(keypassword).toCharArray().....build();
}

sslContext Bean is in a @configuration class. should i autowire import the encryptor class inside the bean ? i suspect as it is a @value called detail, maybe somewhere inside the other beans in the class it is called as encrypted & thorws error ?

But i get below errors everytime:

keystore password was incorrect

I have rechecked the password, encryptions etc. Please help !
