@amalk12 Do you refer to offline TLS tool? If so, could you share your command and the output of that command?

Yes, i am referring to the offline TLS tool. which i am running to get the certificates created .

installation directory>/tools/sgtlstool.sh -c ../config/tlsconfig.yml -ca -crt
This is the command given in the website. 

I am trying to run the command from the Windows machine please find the screenshot below:
 ./sgtlstool.bat -c  ../config/example.yml -ca -crt 
It says system cannot find the path specified

@amalk12 This example is for the Linux file system so you need to use a back slash instead of a forward slash.

When you edit the sgtlstool.bat file you’ll see the following commands.

In the last line, the script uses %JAVA_HOME% variable. If that variable is empty or points to a non-existing folder, it will generate the observed error.

Try the following to troubleshoot

  1. Check if JAVA is installed on your Windows system.
  2. If installed, check where %JAVA_HOME% variable points and does the location exists.

echo %JAVA_HOME%

Remember to restart your command line every time when making changes in your system variables.
