Last time I checked it did. That was some month ago. But looking at the 
libldap code it might be that LDAP_OPT_ON is probably the wrong value to 
pass to it. It seems you need to pass a pointer to an integer. That 
integer value is passed as the is_server argument to the functions that 
actually initialize the context. So I guess in client code you'd pass a 
int pointer to 0.
