 +Note this uses ldaps, which is ssl. You should use this for any non-localhost usage, but it requires valid ssl certificates configured in the ldap server. We do this by running our own ssl certificate authority (CA). We created a signed key for the ldap server, and added our CA's public key to /etc/ssl/certs/ on all the machines that need to talk to ldap. Its non-trivial to convince libldap to connect over ldaps without proper certs.
