Hi, I don't think your ssl setting is the reason you are getting the NPE, but it would be a good idea to change to the new scheme for ssl configurations.
The line you are getting the NPE Is this line: String levelName = jmxAdapter.getDistributedSystemMXBean().getAlertLevel(); I believe at this point the getDistributedSystemMXBean returns null probably the system mBean is not created yet. It might be that manually calling a startManager is not a supported usage. Can you provide the configuration/process you are using Geode? And we start deciding whether we should fire a JIRA ticket for this or not. Thanks!
