    Hello,

    can you provide more information on what you exactly did?
    - What message flow did you implement ? 
    - What properties (SecurityProtocol, SSL protocol, ...) did you set on the node ? 
    - What security did you set on the integration server (mqsisetdbparms) ? 

    - Can you share the whole errors ?

    - I used Kafka producer node to send message to a kafka topic secured with TLS mutual authentication.
    -Policy for kafka created with details:
    Bootstrap server
    Security protocol- SSL TLSv1.2
    keystore location and password
    truststore location and password
    Hostname checking =set to false
    -Used this policy in the kafka producer node
    -Properties set on Integration server:
    mqsichangeproperties node -e test_01 -o ComIbmJVMManager -n keystoreFile -v /data/KeyStore/user.p12

    mqsichangeproperties node -e test_01 -o ComIbmJVMManager -n keystoreType -v PKCS12

    mqsichangeproperties node -e test_01 -o ComIbmJVMManager -n keystorePass -v test_01Keystore:password

    mqsichangeproperties node -e test_01 -o ComIbmJVMManager -n truststoreFile -v /data/TrustStore/truststore.p12

    mqsichangeproperties node -e test_01 -o ComIbmJVMManager -n truststoreType -v PKCS12

    mqsichangeproperties node -e test_01 -o ComIbmJVMManager -n truststorePass -v test_01Truststore:password

    mqsisetdbparms node -n test_01Keystore:password -u ignore -p abcdef

    mqsisetdbparms node -n test_01Truststore:password -u ignore -p abcdef

    Error is while deploying the flow to Integration server: 
    Unexpected java exception thrown from the Connector method ''JavaOutputConnector::initialize''.

    The Connector threw an unexpected type of exception. See previous errors for the detail of the java exception thrown.

    The Connector provider is throwing a type of exception that can not be handled by integration node. Contact the supplier of the Connector.

    Java exception: ''java.lang.NullPointerException''; thrown from class name: ''java.lang.String'', method name: ''valueOf'', file: ''String.java'', line: '3322'

    The message contains that data associated with a Java exception.

    No user action required.

    Hello,
    Seems that you made the right setup.
    I wasn't able to reproduce your issue. Are you sure the integration node/server is at the right level?

    You might try to trace the deployment.

    It's for V9 but this should still be valid.

    A similar error message is known. Maybe the solution is the same.
