We have installed alfersco 5.1 and solr in different servers .

http://docs.alfresco.com/5.1/tasks/solr4-install-config.html

Alfresco has been started and but I didnt find the keystore  folder in <ALFRESCO_TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/keystore .

Its little bit confusion in the documentation between implementing 7th point and solr secure communication link .I want to go for solr secure communication,so we have followed the below link .

Generating Secure Keys for Solr Communication

I have implemented generating secure keys by executing generatekeystore.bat file and I kept the newly generated truststore and keystore files in <ALFRESCO_HOME>/alf_data/keystore path and point the paths in tomcat server.xml for both tomcat alfresco and solr servers.

When should we go for 7th point?

7.Create and populate a keystore directory for the Alfresco and Solr servers. By default, the keystore directory is created in /alf_data/keystore. Note that at this stage the keystore directory will just be a template, containing standard keys. To secure the installation, you must follow the steps to generate new keys as explained in the Generating Secure Keys for Solr Communication section. For example:

For Unix:

mkdir -p <ALFRESCO_HOME>/alf_data/keystore  cp <ALFRESCO_TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/keystore/* <ALFRESCO_HOME>/alf_data/keystore

For Windows:

mkdir <ALFRESCO_HOME>\alf_data\keystore  copy <ALFRESCO_TOMCAT_HOME>\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\keystore\* <ALFRESCO_HOME>\alf_data\keystore
