The Configuration DS is o=Netscaperoot and User DS is the dn of your
DIT, eg. dc=example,dc=com. Since you can setup a dedicated DS just
for your Configuration, it makes sense to have seperated
SSL-Configuration settings for accessing the Configuration and User DS.

When you have a setup where several LDAP instances sharing the same
Configuration Directory, then you have to point the User DS to the local
running instances and for the Configuration Directory you point to the
server which holds a copy of o=NetscapeRoot.

Happy Day.
