Howard has already pointed out that the value must be an LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_* 
constant and not a string; I just wanted to add that in version 2.3 and 
earlier, that option (and most of the other TLS options) could only be set 
globally: ldap_set_option() would fail for them if the first argument 
wasn't NULL.  So, make sure you're building against a current version.
