Connecting Confluence with AD using SSL

[Dominik Žarković]

Hi, 

We are trying to connect Confluence server with Microsoft AD using SSL. But we keep getting this error message. 

nested exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException

Root exception is javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: No name matching 

How can i fix this ?

Dear @Dominik Žarković,

most probably your SSL certificate is not trusted by the JVM. To fix this you can do following:

• create a new keystore including the public part of the cert of AD (with Oracles keytool) and add the following to the start scripts of Confluence

  • -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/keystore

• or add the certificate to the JVM keystore located at (with the keytool)

  • java/jre/lib/security/cacerts

So long

Thomas
