> At the moment, if the keystore path does not exist, Knox attempts to create the parent directories of the keystore path recursively. However, there is an edge case, as described in JDK-8130464, where the directory creation fails if the final, parent directory of the keystore path is a symlink. This causes a failure during startup.
