Sorry.  Here is an excerpt that explains the differences between openldap and
mozldap:
[The reason why we can just replace openldap with mozldap] "... is that there
are dozens of apps that require the openldap
client libraries.  This is a problem for two reasons:
1) the openldap api is different than the mozilla ldap api, in terms of the
function parameters, constants, and behavior.  In many cases it is only slightly
different, and we might be able to mitigate this by either writing a shim layer
on top of the mozilla ldap c sdk that makes it look like openldap, or by simply
changing the mozilla ldap c sdk to make it like openldap.  I prefer the latter.
2) openldap clients expect to be able to use openssl for crypto, while mozilla
uses NSS.  I don't know of an easy way around this, except perhaps to just
automatically import CA certs listed in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf to an NSS cert
db.  Similarly for clients that use cert based auth, import their
keys/certs/password files."
