      Issue Summary

      In Bitbucket Server 7.1.0 Apache Tomcat was upgraded to 9.0.31 which includes a breaking change with respect to the configuration of secrets and the AJP connector.
      https://github.com/apache/tomcat/commit/9ac90532e9a7d239f90952edb229b07c80a9a3eb

      Steps to Reproduce

      Configure Bitbucket Server 7.1.0 with an AJP connector:

      server.additional-connector.1.connector-protocol=AJP/1.3
server.additional-connector.1.port=7991

      Expected Results

      The application starts correctly when an AJP connector is configured.

      Actual Results

      The application fails to start, with error:
