LDAP w/SSL using Novell Active X - HELP!!

PLEASE HELP!

The class below works if i rem out all the stuff related to secure
connection, secure port, and the credentials it authenticates no problem.
But I keep getting a failed to connect to the LDAP server when I try to
make the connection secure. I have the credentials and the EDIRECTORY
server is setup for SSL.....

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Failed to
connect to the LDAP server.

THANKS!
