Cause

The Active Directory server certificate was signed by CA with RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm as confirmed from the following screenshot:

JDK version 8 and earlier versions don't support RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm. The support for RSASSA-PSS signature algorithm was added in the later JDK version 11. See below URLs for your reference.

Add support for RSASSA-PSS Signature algorithm
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8146293

JEP 332 Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/11-relnote-issues-5012449.html#JDK-8145252

Resolution

Active Directory server certificate must be signed with CA's signing algorithms supported by JDK. Support for certificate signature algorithms is provided by JDK and not provided by RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle. Unfortunately, there are no other options.

Workaround

RSA advise not to use CA with RSASSA-PSS signing algorithm. If Active Directory server has been signed with CA with RSASSA-PSS signing algorithm, you need to re-generate Active Directory server certificate with CA's signing algorithms supported by JDK.

See JDK supported signature algorithms from below link:
