.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Communicate using the \s-1LDAP\s0 protocol to a directory server using an
encrypted (\s-1SSL\s0) network connection. This mechanism is non-standard but
widely supported; consider using LDAPv3 with the standard \s-1TLS\s0
extension if possible (many servers do not support it yet.) See
\&\*(L"start_tls\*(R" in Net::LDAP.
.PP
All the normal \f(CW\*(C`Net::LDAP\*(C'\fR methods can be used with a \f(CW\*(C`Net::LDAPS\*(C'\fR
object; see Net::LDAP for details.
.SH "CONSTRUCTOR"
.IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR"
.IP "new ( \s-1HOST\s0 [, \s-1OPTIONS\s0 ] )" 4
.IX Item "new ( HOST [, OPTIONS ] )"
Create a new connection. \s-1HOST\s0 is the hostname to contact. \s-1OPTIONS\s0 is a
number of key/value pairs. See \*(L"new\*(R" in Net::LDAP for details.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"

.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
You cannot have more than one \s-1LDAPS\s0 connection at any one time, due to
restrictions in the underlying Net::SSLeay code.
