Thanks.  I tried it out but can't seem to get it to work for me.  Doesn't 
display any error msgs, but doesn't actually do anything to the LDAP server. 
I've looked at the site, but it is incredibly bare; not even any links for 
mailing lists, support, etc.  Any ideas where I might be able to find some 
help for it?  I enabled full logging on my OpenLDAP server, and I see it 
failing with TLS negotiaiton for some reason, even when I don't want it to 
use TLS.

Any thoughts where I can find more info?

Thanks,

Eric
