Re: why can't I use a URI?

[Greg Matthews <gmatt@nerc.ac.uk>]

check that your server is operating on both ports by telnetting to them,
i.e.

telnet localhost 389
telnet localhost 636

in both cases you should get a connection rather than a connection
refused. It looks like you have found the "feature" that stumped me for
a while. Use quotation marks around the -h paramters:

/usr/sbin/slapd -u ldap -h "ldap:/// ldaps:///"

otherwise, everything after the first URI is discarded from the command
line, including extra options.
