Perhaps a stupid question, but libldap5 does support SSL, TLS, and ldaps URLs (from looking at the source) -- it just appears that it perhaps just doesn't have the appropriate stability classification. What isn't clear (from the original proposal) to me is there something incompatible with those interfaces & php? Or could raising the stability of the existing interfaces perhaps solve the problem (and would that be an easier proposition than going to OpenLDAP)?
