    ldap user with ssl = off can connect through ldap users

    openldap and openssl packages installed in the customer system are:

    rpm -qa | grep openssh

    openssh-server-6.1p1-1
    openssh-clients-6.1p1-1
    openssh-6.1p1-1

    rpm -qa | grep openssl

    openssl-libs-1.0.2h-1
    openssl097a-0.9.7a-12.el5_10.1
    openssl-0.9.8e-40.el5_11

    rpm -qa |grep ldap

    python-ldap-2.2.0-2.1
