ldap.synchronization w/ TLS issues.

Hi guys I'm hoping someone can help me with my issue.

My end results is to limit my logins to a subset of users from AD. This subset of users will be in ldap as "inetOrgPerson" entries.
If I read the instructions correctly this is how the setup I want would work below but I think I'm missing something.

I'm currently running Alfresco v3.3.0, RHEL5 and OpenLDAP v2.4.16
I'm trying to get LDAP sync to work.
My LDAP server requires TLS and supports anonymous bind read-only queries so no authentication is necessary to read the directory.

I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Authentication_Subsystems
for setting up the chain. The passthru authentication works just fine and autocreates the users but I'd like to limit it to just users who are in ldap.
The ldap sync fails with TLS errors. 
I followed the directions here for setting up TLS: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Ldap_over_SSL
The problem with those directions is they are over 2 years old and I believe I no longer have to edit the alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/ldap-authentication-context.xml file (correct me if I'm wrong) since those options are now set in the global.properties
I created the keystore and placed it in /export/alfresco and passed the option JAVA_OPTS in alfresco.sh.

Here is the relevant config section from my alfresco-global.properties
Server names and passwords have been changed to protect the stoopid Smiley Happy (ME!)

Did you ever get this sorted out?  Was the LDAP server requiring TLS (and therefore would refuse a connection if TLS not working from Alfresco's end) or would it accept non-TLS but with the undesirable security implication?
