My testing shows me that for some servers, syntax A doesn't work, but syntax B does, and I don't see what the difference is.
In (A) you are selecting protocol, host, and port - this is still a normal LDAP session.
In (B) you are selecting protocol, host, and LDAP over SSL. This is an SSL session that happens to use port 636 by default.
Thanks!
