Problem doing an SSL bind to Active Directory w/new cert

843811Sep 23 2005 — edited Jun 23 2008

Hi,

The windows sysadmin had a problem with the certificate authority and had to rebuild it and then re-issue all the certs. I got the new authority's public key, but now when I try to bind to Active Directory, I get the following message:

javax.naming.CommunicationException: simple bind failed: 
mbot.its.wfo.linfield.edu:636.  Root exception is 
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: 
Certificate contains unknown critical extensions: [2.5.29.17]

The sysadmin tells me that all the windows boxes are back and working just fine with the new certificates, and it was no problem to import it into Firefox. So what does that message mean, and what needs to be done to fix it?

Thanks,
