[Fedora-directory-users] enforcing ssl

Hi,

I'm trying to set up Fedora DS to be accessible only with SSL.  My DS is 
on a standalone remote server, with most ports firewalled. If I open 
ports 389 and 636, I can run ldapsearch ok using SSL (the access log 
shows 'SSL connection.. using 256-bit AES') but I can also choose not to 
use SSL and still make queries. If I close port 389, I can't connect to 
the server with or without SSL - I just get 'ldap_start_tls: Can't 
contact LDAP server (-1)'. This is even if I explicitly specify port 
636, not just relying on the '-Z' flag for ldapsearch.

Is it possible to close down non-SSL access? (I am not using the admin 
server, so this needs to be through manual configuration)

Thanks for any advice

Graham
