Kevin,
I did some tracing in the relevant SSL code and it looks like GF
initializes an SSLContext object using the identity specified by the
"com.sun.enterprise.security.httpsOutboundKeyAlias" alias for outbound
HTTPS connections.
The code then sets that SSLContext to be the default SSLContext(
javax.net.ssl.SSLContext.setDefault(SSLContext) )
If your LDAP client creates SSLSockets from that new default SSLContext,
it'll have that identity.
As to why the client then sends its certificate even if the LDAP server
never asks for it at all, that's not GF behavior but rather the
underlying JSSE implementation(SunJSSE in this case).
I'd double check the LDAP server setting to be sure it will not request
for optional client certificates.
