Can anyone point me in the right direction on this...

We want to do secure authentication into an ND app - the plan is (currently) to stick 
the uid/pwd onto a page,
and submit it to the ND server which then goes off and does the authentication against 
an LDAP server,
gets an authenticated Y/N, then looks up the employee ID corresponding to the auth DN  
(if authenticated OK) in the LDAP directory
and uses this to set up the user session etc etc.
All well and good - this works fine.
How do I get ND to connect to the LDAP server over SSL instead of simple 
authentication.
We're using the netscape ldap classes...
the documentation seems to imply that if you set up an SSL socket then they work fine 
from an applet inside a netscape browser because
it'll use the netscape cert DB, so how do you do it if you haven't got a cert DB on 
the NetD server?
I hope you're only a little confused...
thanks
Claus
p.s the initial page submit is secured over SSL between browser and webserver - its 
the ND server to LDAP server that needs securing somehow...
