Hi All,

For anyone trying to create a new cert with keytool following the instructions at https://www.xeams.com/new-cert-with-keytool.htm

Note that the latest keytool implementation (JDK 9) defaults keystores to pkcs12 and you need to change to a java using the additional option of {-storetype storetype} when first creating the keystore i.e. 

-storetype jks

If you have already created the keystore and need to convert use

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore synametrics.pks -srcstoretype pkcs12 -destkeystore synametrics.cert -deststoretype jks -deststorepass [PASSWORD]

If you don't there will be a failure to start Xeams after the reboot. 

I hope this helps others that are having similar issues to me.
