And less secure.  :)

If policy is to use SSL/TLS, then the server must enforce it; trusting the
clients to do the right thing is bad.

In my wire capture with the LDAP server that is working all application
data is being transported via TLSv1 on port 389.  But it was my
understanding that SSLv3 was going to be the last since TLS is more secure.
