Problem
Nexus Repository 3 fails to start and the application log file contains a message with error similar to:
IOException: keystore password was incorrect
Diagnosis
The error is caused by a bad truststore or keystore password.
A custom truststore is configured either in startup params or in the nexus.vmoptions file via Java javax.net.ssl* properties and the store password specified is incorrect.
Solution
Check and correct the custom keystore password.
