That would be a great test, except that the server won't accept non-SSL 
reqeusts.

If you use regular ldap instead of ldaps, what does a packet dump show
different between the two environments?

  The target LDAP server is Novell, and it doesn't allow anonymous
 browsing.  When the Remedy daemons start up, all the plug-ins load without a
 hitch.  And in the configuration  form, the parameters for ARDBC look
 correct -- that is, the values are what we were told to use, and they
 match what I'm using in Softerra's LDAP Browser.

 the development 5.1.2 machine:  Swiss-cheese data.
