I am having trouble trying to connect to a secure OpenLDAP server which I have set up. On running my LDAP client code
java -Djavax.net.debug=ssl LDAPConnector
I get the following exception trace (java version 1.6.0_17)
trigger seeding of SecureRandom

I am able to connect to the same secure LDAP server however if I use another version of java (1.6.0_14)
I have created and installed the server certificates in the cacerts of both the JRE's as mentioned in this guide -- OpenLDAP with SSL
When I run ldapsearch -x on the server I get
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=localdomain> (default) with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
#
# localdomain
dn: dc=localdomain

objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: localdomain
dc: localdomain
# admin, localdomain
dn: cn=admin,dc=localdomain
objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
objectClass: organizationalRole
cn: admin

# search result

On running openssl s_client -connect ldap.natraj.com:636 -showcerts , I obtain the self signed certificate.
