Hi all ,

We have successfully enabled portal User Authentication to MS AD/LDAP over port 389 in a EP6 SP2 portal . Portal use

Now we wish to switch to LDAP over SSL .We did the following for a Ad with SSL enabled on port 636 :

1) Import the AD server cert into the keystore using Visual admin tool

2) Log into portal as adminstrator > Go to UM Administration

3) Change DataSource to AD , Flat heirarchy

4) Enter hostname of AD server , user . password , paths etc.., Enable SSL

5) Save config and restart portal

Now the Portal will not start and we get the following error messages in the

console_logs...any ideas ???
