[jadmin] SSL authentication problem

Dear all, I have jabberd2 with MySQL storage and Openldap authentication
(port 389, withouth encryption). Also I use PSI clients.

If I use plain-text client-to-jabberd authentication, I success in the
login.

But when I setup the SSL authentication editing the c2s.xml file as follow
<pemfile>/usr/local/etc/jabberd/server.pem</pemfile>
<ssl-port>5223</ssl-port>

After that I restart jabberd2 opening the port 5223 and then I try to
login and get this PSI error: "There was an error communicating with the
jabber server. Details: authentication error: no appropriete mechanism
available for given security settings".

And also I could see this error in the jabber syslog: "error: SSL
handshake error (error:140760FC:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol)"

I want to authenticate via SSL just between PSI client and jabber, and I
want to maintain clear text between jabber and openldap (tcp/389) to
users authentication.

What can be the problem ??? Maybe I have to implement ldaps (port
tcp/686) in my openldap server ????

Really thanks
