But what I don't understand is what's the SSL code in it is for then.

I'm currently doing:

SSLclient -> pen:636 -> ldap:636, ldap2:636, ldap3:636

For a client that speak ssl, I don't need to tell pen anything about
ssl. Pen is passing the encrypted connection to the servers with no
problem. If I put stunnel in front, yes, it would work (I don't see why
not). I don't see why would pen need any ssl code otherwise.

Thanks.
