1. Anyone had success with configuring Xwiki so it will use an Active Directory to authenticate using SSL (port 636)? I'm using Xwiki 1.0 RC3 as a standalone installation on a Win2003 Server using Jetty (though have configured Xwiki to use our MySQL Server - and this works fine). I was able to sucessfully get it to authenticate to our AD via LDAP port 389, but can't seem to get it work under port 636 (SSL). And I have installed the cert from the LDAP Server on the XWiki box (Win2003 Server), so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

For those that have deployed Xwiki using LDAP Authentication via a AD in SSL mode, you could send me the parameters you have tweaked in the xwiki.cfg file (and anything else you did)?

2. I see that a patch was been developed (XWIKI-865 - related to XWIKI-1079 and XWIKI-805) to enable support for SSL connections to LDAP. Do I need to install this patch or this already included in as part of Xwiki 1.0 RC3 on the download? If I do need to install it - how? The documentation on the patch and on the xwiki.org site does not say how to install patches (sorry if I'm supposed to know this already - but I'm not a Java programmer). How are patches installed and what procedures should be done as part of the post-installation, and how does one know when a release includes a patch?
