Hi again,

To follow up on my own question, in case others upgrade from 2.0.54 and
run into this problem, 2.0.55 requires these two directives before SSL 
is enabled in mod_ldap:                                                                                              

LDAPTrustedCA /etc/ssl/CA/cacert.pem                                                                                                       
LDAPTrustedCAType BASE64_FILE                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                           
The debug logs now produce:

[Fri Jan 13 18:34:17 2006] [notice] LDAP: SSL support available     

Cheers,
Brent
