I have recently started playing around with alfresco and I am currently running into an issue, hopefully someone can help.
Issue: I have a standard bundle install of 3.2r2 Community Edition which has been configured to authenticate against openLDAP. I have tested that the authentication is working and that the users and groups are getting synced into alfresco. In the initial test I had an open connection with authentication mechanism set to simple, but when I change over to SSL with a self-signed certificate Alfresco is dying on server startup.
the root exception I am seeing:
Caused by: javax.naming.CommunicationException: simple bind failed: 192.168.2.8:636 [Root exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target]
I have verified the SSL connection to openLDAP is working using Apache Directory Studio, and I am pretty sure it's related to being a self-signed cert.
My problem was I had installed the self-signed cert into the wrong keystore, the alfresco bundle that I installed came with it's own JDK and didn't use JDK that as already on my alfresco system.
