@desind,

 

Sorry for the delay; I am catching up on some older community posts from before the holidays.

 

The exception you see occurs when you have Active Directory external authenticaiton configured for Navigator authtentication, but Navigator cannot find trust for your LDAPS server's certificate.

 

See the following documentation tidbit for information:

 

https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/latest/topics/cn_admcfg_auth_openldap.html#configu...

 

Trust for the LDAPS server's certificate signer is defined in the JDK that is used to run Navigator.  If you have questions, please reply
