[Mono-aspnet-list] ASP.NET 2.0 running on IIS6/Windows server 2003

Hi,

My client requires SSL based LDAP authentication on the ASP.NET (2.0)
application we have written, which is going to run on Windows 2003 Server
through IIS6.  For the moment I am using a simple console application to
test my code - a lot easier and simpler that uploading the rather large web
application dlls each time.

>From everything I've read, it appears that Mono is the best solution to
this, but I'm having a great deal of difficulty getting it to work.

I have added the novell.directory.ldap.dll and mono.security.dll references
to the console app, and included the dlls in "installation" directory on the
server.
I have installed Mono (2.4.2.3) but not included the GTK part, as I don't
believe it's necessary.
I have added the security certificate from the clients LDAP system into the
Trust store using certmgr.

But when I attempt a secure bind to the LDAP server, I receive a 91 Connect
Error, with the IOException of "The authentication or decryption has failed"
and TlsException of "Invalid certificate received from server".

What have I missed?
Am I trying to achieve the impossible... or have I missed a simple step out? 
(Do I need to set an application setting or environment variable that I'm
not aware of?)

Many thanks for any help,
Cheers,
Tom
