From [this page of the docs](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/security/classic-authentication-strategy/active-directory-authentication#connect-ad-over-ssl):

> Work with IT to obtain a certificate from the AD server. This certificate must be added to the data/certificates/supplemental directory and then imported into the Java cacerts keystore.

Is there anywhere I can find more information about the "import into cacerts keystore?" Online information I've found seems to assume an installed JDK/JRE. Is there a different process for Ignition's embedded JDK?

In Ignition 8.x you just need to add them to the supplemental certs dir and it gets imported for you: [Security Certificates | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/security/security-certificates#adding-security-certificates-into-keystores)
