Been using iPlanet's Directory Server 4.11 on Solaris 2.8 in SSL mode for
quite some time without trouble.

I've just installed the new 4.13 Directory Server and have just enabled SSL
and have begun testing.

Here's the odd part.

My PerLDAP scripts can connect via SSL to the 4.13 directory just fine, BUT
standard application like IE Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Outlook Address
Book, etc cannot seem to connect to securely.

Now these are standard application with built in trusted certificates, and
4.13 is basically denying access to these clients.

The access log shows the ssl bind attempt and a client timeout; no cipher
errors.
Client application perceive as is the ldap server doesn't even exist, since
it receives no responce from the Directory.

In the past, I've never has to do anything to allow off-the-sheff
applications to connect securely to the directory.  Has this changed in
4.13?  Has anyone else experienced this.

I've been comparing my configurations via ldif between the 4.11 and 4.13 and
can't seem to find any clues to this anomally.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!,
