Web Authentication via LDAP (AD) - anyone using channel encryption?

I have web authentication working with directory assistance to Active Directory LDAP. Every item I see on this forum says to set Channel Encryption to none. Is anyone using channel encryption and gotten it to work? I’d obviously like to use it if I can (the bubble says it’s strongly recommended). I am using ssl on the domino servers (for the web clients coming in) and want to plug the domino-ad hole. Any suggestions?
