Can't install LDAP Jenkins plugin - jenkins

Question

We have a RHEL 7 machine (3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.x86_64) with Jenkins and Java installed. Java is:
openjdk version "1.8.0_181"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)
Our first issue is under the plugin manager. If I click "Check Now" under the Plugin Manager page, I get the error below and I'm not sure if this is something to do with my Java or a web proxy issue.

Answer 1

When did this started occurring ? After java update ? I started seeing issues with the LDAP plugin after java update from 1.8.0.171 to 1.8.0_181 in Linux x86_64 , Jenkins 1.6.*.
I downgraded to to the older one and things started working. But in my case I don't have an issue with installation.
