I just did, and it works. I'd welcome suggestions as to how I can get it working with SSL, as I don't want to be throwing cleartext passwords across the wire. I just raised LogLevel to debug. It logged seven identical attempts to authenticate: one, and then five seconds later six within the space of a single second. Nothing else was logged but the "can't contact LDAP server" (after it opened and discarded seven perfectly good TCP connections unused!) It never even tried to start the SSL handshake. -- Mark H.
