[Fedora-directory-users] mandating SSL-only connections

[Richard Megginson]

the openldap ldapsearch -Z does startTLS, which tries to startup a 
secure connection using the non-secure port - basically, so you can have 
ldap listen only to 389 and have SSL/TLS on that port. So then you may 
ask "Ok, that's fine, but how do I disable non-secure connections on 
389?" I'm not sure how you can do that at the connection level, but at 
the entry level you can set ACIs to allow access only if using SSL/TLS.
