In order to connect to the LDAP server over SSL (LDAPS) perform the following steps:

1. The default password for the JVM TrustStore is “changeit”, and you should change it to a new password:

   Keytool -storepasswd -keystore /app/java/jre/lib/security/cacerts 
   
   Enter keystore password:  <old password>
   New keystore password: <new password>
   Re-enter new keystore password: <new password>

2. Import the LDAP / CA certificate to the JVM trustStore. You can either import a self signed certificate, or the CA certificate that signed the LDAP certificate.

   Keytool -import -v -noprompt -trustcacerts -file <certificate file location > -keystore /app/java/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass <key store password>

3. Make sure you use ldaps:// prefix and SSL ports in the LDAP configuration script properties file.
