Hi,
I need a real dummy guide on how to set up the certs for solr.  I've read the following posts and still having issues.
<li>http://forums.alfresco.com/forum/installation-upgrades-configuration-integration/configuration/alfre...</li>
<li>http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_And_SOLR#Generating_new_SSL_certificates</li>

Downloaded and installed the following package <strong>alfresco-community-4.0.e-installer-linux-x64.bin</strong>.
I installed Alfresco Community in the following directory: /opt/Alfresco/
I modified /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties as follows

My /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/conf/server.xml looks has this configured.

I ran the <strong>/opt/Alfresco/alf_data/keystore/generate_keystores.sh</strong>.
I only modified
<li>ALFRESCO_HOME=/opt/Alfresco</li>
and
<li>JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_45/</li>

When I run the script I get the output mentioned in the forum post found here

Hi.

This is a blog post I always relly on when I have to deal with Sorl http://www.ixxus.com/blog/2012/06/getting-going-solr-alfresco-4

What I didn't see in your post was the Tomcat's users configuration.
This step is needed and is described in the blog post I cited. Search for "tomcat-users.xml" in that blog post and you will get what I'm talking about.

Let me know if you need more help to solve your problem.

See ya
