Re: Use LDAP with or without SSL

[Oliver Egginger <Oliver.Egginger@mni.fh-giessen.de>]

interesting for me,
post your code if you have success and if you like.

My understanding of SSL/TSL and so on, 
is that it depends starkly on the port.
I can't imagine that is it possible to have a LDAP-Server which can
accept SSL and non-SSL connection...

SSL is a layer on the TCP-Stack,
how to bypass it ??
