I've only tried a dozen and one things to resolve the problem. Needing to take a breather from that I went on to another configuration issue that required me to restart the server. When the server came up the SSL connection to ActiveDirectory worked as well. Obviously adding a cert to cacerts.jks required a restart.
Thanks to all who responded.
