Well it's iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 on SunOS 8, and I already checked 
the SSL connection with a Java program (I am new to python).
The python cgi runs on an Irix 6.5

Thanks, I also took a look a the list archives ("TLS Context").

Still, I get the following error when testing with the python interpreter : 
############################################
>>> import ldap
>>> print ldap.__version__
2.0.0pre04
>>> ldap.set_option
(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CACERTFILE,'/usr/freeware/apache/conf/cert7.db')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/freeware/lib/python2.1/site-packages/ldap/functions.py", line 101, 
in set_option
    _ldap_call(_ldap.set_option,option,invalue)
  File "/usr/freeware/lib/python2.1/site-packages/ldap/__init__.py", line 31, 
in _ldap_call
    result = apply(func,args,kwargs)
ldap.LDAPError: {'errnum': -1}
############################################

Any idea ?
