non so se segui la lista di openldap ma l'ho appena chiesto. Faccio un 
riassuntino, sperando che interessi non solo a me in questa lista:

You could leave it on port 389, use TLS, and be just as secure.

replica host=servercopia:389 binddn="cn=admin,dc=qualcosa"
          bindmethod=simple credentials=passwordcopia starttls=critical

Quanah please be precise here: You are probably referring to StartTLS 
extended operation sent over an existing LDAP connection. SSLv3 or TLSv1 
is an encryption protocol above the transport layer encryption.

BTW: I see some security benefits when using LDAPS URIs over StartTLS 
ext. op. You don't have to set another config parameter to make use of 
SSL or TLS mandantory. But your mileage may vary.

E per finire

Man, nit-picky. ;P  The end result is the same, your connection is 
secured. True, it is not being used to do authentication, but they 
should already know that, having supplied a bind mechanism of simple & a 
password.

LDAPS is not part of the LDAP standard.  So I disagree. ;)
