LDAP Authentication in Tru64 UNIX

Hi!

I've a Tru64 v5.1b, with LDAP Module for System Authentication (from Internet
Express 6.1).
I've also installed OpenLDAP 2.0.27, which comes with Internet Express, and have
no problems authenticating users stored in this OpenLDAP 2.0.27.

After I've changed the LDAP Module for System Authentication to use another
server (not on localhost) wich runs OpenLDAP 2.1.30.

At first, the LDAP Module for System Authentication could'nt even pass the Test
Configuration, then I've put the line "allow bind_v2" in the server and the Test
Configuration was passed. But UNIX doens't authenticate users on that server.
Even if I perform a "su username" or try to login with an account stored in that
LDAP server, the attempt is rejected and there is no traffic in the server side.

Is there any incompatibility with other versions beside 2.0.27?

Another question I have is, is it possible to use Tru64 Unix to authenticate
LDAP users trough SSL (port 636) or this isn't supported yet and must all be
trough cleartext (port 389)??

Hope you can give me some light here.
Thanks,
