The ssl.keystore is only used for communication between Repository and SOLR. It is inconsequential for communication with LDAP / AD over SSL. In order to use LDAPS, the subsystem provides its own properties for configuring a specific keystore as the truststore. Look for the "ldap.authentication.truststore.xx" settings in the documentation. Of course you could re-use the ssl.truststore for this and add the certificate for the Active Directory server (or for the signing CA) in there.

Thanks Axel. I've got the Active Directory integration working now over SSL. I did a reinstall of Alfresco to restore the ssl.keystore to it's original state and imported the AD cert into a ldap.keystore file. After an issue with needing to use escape characters in the alfresco-global.properties file to point to the new keystore file everything started up properly with no errors in the log. I was then able to login using my AD account.

I'll now mark this question as solved.

Thanks again.
