encryption with Sun DS 6.0 LDAP server

Hi,

I have successfully configured and populated an LDAP directory server with Solaris name service data. I can bind to it using proxy authentication simple and it works. However I am of the understanding that by doing this the bind password will be transmitted in clear text. I am thinking I need to set it up using one of the TLS options (ie. tls: simple) so that the entire client-server session is encrypted. I imagine that you bind to port 1636 on the LDAP server somehow.

Has anyone out there done this sort of thing, and if so, what do I need to do/know in order to set this up ?

Thanks

Rob
