Try the following steps

  • To resolve this issue, add the ldap server certificate to the /Portal/server/default/config/glue/glueTrustStore.jks certificate store. Run the following command to add the certificate to the store.

<wm_java_home>/bin/keytool -import -keystore /Portal/server/default/config/glue/glueTrustStore.jks -file path/to/ldapcert -alias anyaliasyoulike

Restart MWS.

This should help.

Hi,

is this documented somewhere in the SAG Documentation, or does everyone facing this issue has to figure it out by itself when searching and finding this thread?

Regards,
Holger

Addendum:

BTW:
This solution described here applies also to newer versions (incl. the most reccent ones) with the difference that the path has a changed a little bit:

<wm_java_home>/bin/keytool -import -keystore /MWS/server/default/config/glue/glueTrustStore.jks -file path/to/ldapcert -alias anyaliasyoulike

Holger
