I did add my local CA certificate (the one that signed my LDAP server
cert) to JXplorer's cacerts file. That did not solve the problem.
I haven't fully researched this yet (it hasn't been a high priority for me), 
but I believe some extra Java-side configuration is required to make JXplorer 
use SSL with GSSAPI. This must have been discussed on the mailing list
in the past. In principle it's not too bad since GSSAPI has its own way of
negotiating integrity and (if desired) confidentiality. (Whether
JXplorer may have implementation flaws in this area is another question.)

Unless JXplorer pays attention to the Java VM's cacerts file (and I hope
it doesn't: it has its own private cacerts file for a reason), even the big 
players won't be trusted by default.
