  1. PaperCut MF Server with at least version 21.x.x
  2. Server run on Windows Server 2012-x
  3. Valid Certificate with Privat and Public Key
  4. A running PaperCut server on SSL

Part Zero: Setting up KeyStore Explorer

Download and install the latest release of KeyStore Explorer from: http://www.keystore-explorer.org/downloads.html

Depending on the version of JRE you have installed, KeyStore Explorer might ask you to update Java’s cryptography Libraries. Follow the prompts and it will guide you through this.

Please note that the latest versions of KeyStore Explorer now contain a custom Java Runtime, so it’s no longer necessary to separately download / install your own JRE.

server.ssl.keystore-password=papercut
