I am working through the SSL example which means starting the locator using the properties files instead of default. So it's
start locator --name=IsLocator --properties-file=..\config\gemfire.properties --security-properties-file=..\config\gfsecurity.properties
Then whether the SSL is set in the properties files or not, this causes the locator process to terminate with an error
The Locator process terminated unexpectedly with exit status 1. Please refer to the log file in D:\Geode\bin\IsLocator for full details.

The same error happens if GFSH is started as an administrator.
