We recently started having mysterious issues connecting to the BOF Registry/Content Server from one of our application servers. I don't know of anything that changed on this machine recently, though something may have. It's clone machine is working just fine. We're using DFC 6.7 SP1. What I find most curious about the error is the NullpointerException in the stack trace, most other stacks I've seen in the forum have something more specific.
NOTE: I have triple-checked the password. Also I have deleted the dfc.keystore multiple times. It appears to be successfully regenerating.
