Is your jetty-https.xml file outside of the install directory? If so, you will need to make some changes to it as we updated the Jetty version in 3.26.0 and older jetty-https.xml files will not work.

Find the line below in your jetty-https.xml file:

<New id="sslContextFactory" class="org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory">

Add "$Server" so that it looks like the following:

<New id="sslContextFactory" class="org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Server">
