Thanks for looking at this.

Yeah. In master, I was relying on the server rejecting ldaptls=1
requests due to lack of configured certificate in order to generate a
diagnostic message. Now that there is a certificate, I needed to find
another way to get requests rejected with a diagnostic message. I
have added a brief note to the commit message about this.

I realised that I should probably also include a new test for
ldaptls=1, so that we can see that both ways of doing TLS are working.
I added that test, and added a "note" to label the whole section as
"TLS". Please see attached.
