Evolution, ldap and tls

Question

I've got evolution talking to my ldap server over unencrypted ports but I'm now trying to get it running over TLS.
I've set evolution up to use port 636 and tls, pointed it at the server but I keep getting error messages.
Running openldap (slapd) in debug mode and watching the log I see this:
connection_get(12)
connection_get(12): got connid=5
connection_read(12): checking for input on id=5
TLS trace: SSL_accept:before/accept initialization
tls_read: want=11, got=11
0000: 30 1d 02 01 01 77 18 80 16 31 2e 0....w...1.
TLS trace: SSL_accept:error in SSLv2/v3 read client hello A
TLS: can't accept.
TLS: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol s23_srvr.c:562
connection_read(12): TLS accept error error=-1 id=5, closing
connection_closing: readying conn=5 sd=12 for close
connection_close: conn=5 sd=12
I've googled for this and there are a few mentions of the error but nothing specific on how to fix it.
The CA is a self signed one and I've imported the CA cert into evolution's certificate manager.
I can use openssl on the command to connect to the server on port 636 and view the certificate returned.
Can anyone help?

This doesn't look like a SSL problem. It looks like a package problem.
I normally use lowercase for my package names, so that may be your problem. I'm going to use lowercase in this example.
the first line of DummySSLSocketFactory.java should be
package passport;
That line should then be
env.put("java.naming.ldap.factory.socket", "passport.DummySSLSocketFactory");
The .class file should be in a directory called
...\someDir\package
You might be getting confused by your IDE. If the above doesn't help, let me know what IDE you are using (if any).
