Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-7147:
----------------------------------------
Those documentation updates seem like good improvements to me. For
csecldapbooting.dita, you could possibly change 'Boot ApacheDS via the
following command' to something like 'Boot ApacheDS. On Linux, for example, run
the following command' since I believe the precise instructions vary by
platform.
The 'ldaps' worked fine for me in my toy example, and I have no reason to
believe it wouldn't work else.
I unfortunately have no input on your much harder second question.
