I'm under the impression that LDAPS (and not StartTLS) has been depreciated in OpenLDAP, but I can't find anything on the OpenLDAP website that says this. Is this the case, and is there a reference for it?

The "LDAPS is deprecated" is rather obsolete. It was caused by lack of formal specification for LDAPS.

Personally I was always against this position. It simply works anyway. And any directory server vendor dropping support for LDAPS would be seriously punished by its customer base.
