I didn't try it myself but I found several claims that it works. I
see complaints that it always looks for _ldap._tcp and not _ldaps._tcp
as you might expect when using ldascheme=ldaps, but that doesn't seem
to be a big problem. As for ldaptls=1, that must work because it
doesn't even negotiate that until after the connection is made.
