    dir.keystore=<WAS_INSTALL_ROOT>/keystore
    index.subsystem.name=solr
    solr.host=<host_of_tomcat_instance_where_solr_is_running>
    solr.port=8080
    solr.port.ssl=8443  
  3. Create a folder called $WAS_INSTALL_ROOT/keystore and then copy all of the files from <alfresco.war>/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/keystore to the new folder.
