I figured it's quite likely that adding LDAPS support such that it just requires an adjustment of the configuration file might not be too far off.

ejabberd includes a modified version of eldap on directory ejabberd/src/eldap/. That version seems architecturally improved (better fault-tolerance etc) but lacks at least one feature included on the original eldap: LDAPS support.

So are there currently any plans in the works for adding LDAPS support? And if not, where is the most appropriate place to log such a feature request? :-)

No known plans on short term from known developers. Submit it to Bugzilla.

After you submit the feature request, you can give this 10 minutes patch a try if you have much, much spare time. I just looked at the original code and the modified one. I have no idea of LDAP/LDAPS but tried to port some code. It's such a quick, dirty and untested code that I give you a guarantee 99.9% that:

this code will NOT work at all
maybe it connects using LDAPS, but will not send anything
it sends, but does not receive
it sends and receives, but does not close connections
it seems to work, but causes unstability

The patch is against SVN, and you need to change the options on eldap.erl lines 80..93 manually and recompile: use_tls=true, port=686, etc.
