> 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.
