Expected results:

JBoss should retrieve security information from AD.


Additional info:

A workaround is to add the AD server certificate to the application server truststore. However, this is not a practical solution, as when the AD certificate expires, it requires updating all application server instances with the new AD server certificate.

This OpenJDK7 changeset includes the fix:
