Configure LDAPS on 2003 Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, Active Directory, 2003, LDAPS
Hello..

   I currently have 4 Windows 2003 domain controllers running that I would like to configure Ldaps on.   I have a number of application servers {unix/windows boxs} that can use this for authentication.   I have been doing a bit of reading on this on Microsoft's site and have found the information a bit confusing.    From what i gather it looks like I have three options...  1 I can setup a microsoft cert authority and proceed down that road {although that looks rather confusing}  2. I can go to each domain controller and generate a cert request and get a provider like verisign to issue a cert for each domain controller.  3.  Setup an OpenSSL cert auth.  

The option that looks best at the moment is # 2.  This assumes that that will actually work...and also that the ldaps turns on once a cert has been imported to each domain controller.   Any information and advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.    Thank you.
