PoolableLdapConnectionFactory WARN   Cannot bind : PROTOCOL_ERROR: The server will disconnect!
2020-01-23 19:00:16.347 [main] c.a.s.l.LDAPSynchronizer                 ERROR  Could not connect to LDAP server. Please check LDAP username and password.

Cause

The new installation of Java does not have the correct SSL certificates. 

Environment

Release : 12.2

Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE

Resolution

Compare the cacerts from your new installation to the older installation. If these are different, either:

A.) Copy the cacerts from the older java installation to the new one.

B.) Re-install the SSL certificate to the new cacerts folder.
