Symptoms

You configure the MQ Series Adapter and it works as expected.
When you enable the MQ Series Adapter for SSL, the following error occurs.

ERROR

STEPS
--------
1) Create a private key with a blank password field so that it inherits the keystore password.
2) Import the private key into the DemoIdentity store.
3) Create a certificate request.
4) Import the response into the keystore.
5) Import CA certificate into DemoTrust.jks.

Even after specifically changing the private key password to match the keystore password, the error still occurs.
