I'm going to implement it for the Oracle SDK, and I think now after Rasmus's comments and also thinking a bit myself, that the best thing is to extend ldap_connect(). I'll put in the manual exactly what parameters are needed to get SSL working when using the Oracle SDK. Hopefully we'll get SSL support for some other SDKs later, I might even add some myself, we'll see. Stig
