Symptoms

LDAPS configuration fails to verify configuration.

Error generated:

ERROR main com.emc.brs.auth.cli.core.AuthConfigCmdExecutor - Error while performing Operation:

Certificates are imported correctly to the Java cacerts keystore.

Cause

The authc-create-ad-config.sh script has an incorrect protocol configured in the config-server-address properties. The script is using the ldap protocol instead of LDAPS. 
-D "config-server-address=ldap://<hostname_or_ip_address>:636/<base_dn>"

Resolution

Modify the config-server-address property to specify LDAPS as the protocol to use.

Example configuration:

-D "config-server-address=ldaps://<hostname_or_ip_address>:636/<base_dn>"
