I've had it enabled for a while. I'm using “badldaps:1:2:5” and I'm pretty sure it's working. I see some alerts on the “ol” test (which monitors regular LDAP on 389) and then some alerts on “ldaps” that come a few minutes later. However, I mainly just didn't want to be alerted during daily log rotation, which is predictable, so I've been using DOWNTIME to silence the alerts. I'm not really depending on badldaps at this point.

By the way, I highly recommend Buchan Milne's script for monitoring LDAP…
