Issue
When testing the connector settings of an Active Directory LDAP AFX Connector that is configured to use SSL over port 636 (AFX > Connectors > {connector-name} > Test Connector Settings), the test fails with the following message:
 
Failed connector settings test. Request timed out. 
 
User-added image
 
The Active Directory LDAP AFX connector log, $AFX_HOME/esb/logs/esb.AFX-CONN-{connector-name}.log, shows the following error. 
2016-12-12 11:19:52.205 [ERROR] org.mule.module.launcher.application.DefaultMuleApplication:361 
- null java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.aveksa.common.tls.SSLContextFactory
 
The AFX mule log file, $AFX_HOME/esb/logs/mule_ee.log, has a corresponding error:
ERROR 2016-12-12 11:19:52,478 [Mule.app.deployer.monitor.1.thread.1] 
org.mule.module.launcher.DefaultArchiveDeployer:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
org.mule.module.launcher.DeploymentStartException: ClassNotFoundException: 
com.aveksa.common.tls.SSLContextFactory

The same connector configured to connect over port 389 (non-SSL connection) is able to connect.

 
Cause
This is a known issue in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.0.1 GA (release) version.

The key errors are the java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: and ClassNotFoundException: errors in the AFX log files. This error occurs due to a missing class file in the mmc-console class path.

 
Resolution
This issue is resolved in RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle 7.0.1 P01.
