Resolution
- Review the certificate and under the Details tab, check the Key Usage attribute.
- The certificate should be generated to include Digital Signature which was missing in the LDAPS certificate.
- Reissue the certificate with Digital Certificate Signature included in the Key Usage field. It can now be imported into the RSA Authentication Manager Operations Console.
- LDAPS test connection over port 636 works as expected.
