I've done a lot with LDAP and haven't had too many issues.  Getting the certificate stuff striaght is one issue.  The other huge roadblock is just understanding your directory structure and knowing what object classes and attributes you have to work with.
If you authenticate as a different user, cn=joeuser,o=company you can do a search for (objectclass=*) inside ou=users,o=company
Softerra has a good LDAP Browser (v 2.6) that you can download and install to test your environment.  There's a better one for SSL support if from the university of chicago...but you'd have to search from it.  Make sure you have the latest version of Sun Java installed.
