[Failing LDAP operation]: Failed to connect to SSL server

This error occurs when the LDAP server rejects the client connection because a secure socket connection cannot be established. This can be caused by any of the following:

• The Certificate Management support rejects the clients attempt to connect to the server. Use Digital Certificate Manager to make sure that your certificates are set up properly, then restart the server and try to connect again.
• The user might not have read access to the *SYSTEM certificate store (by default /QIBM/userdata/ICSS/Cert/Server/default.kdb).

For i5/OS C applications, additional SSL error information is available. See "Directory Server APIs" in the Programming topic for details.
