I have server-side, self-generated, self-signed certs.  None of those certs exist on any of the
clients, all my ldap traffic is ssl-encrypted over 636, no problem.  Is that what you mean by
"anonymous cipher suites"?  If so, why is that reckless?  I don't really care if the clients
misrepresent themselves, I just care that the server doesn't.

Perhaps I'm not understanding what you are saying....?
