Is it possible to enable SSL over LDAP in windows 2000 without installing a
enterprise root-CA?

According to MS-article Q247078 you need to install an Enterprise CA and
allow all domain controllers to receive a certificate automatically. In our
test-environment this works. After that we can use LDAPS in this
test-enviroment to update passwords, make accounts etc. Now we need to use
LDAPS in our production environment but we still have to decide how our
CA-hierachy will look like. So we cant install a enterprise-CA yet and we
can not wait for this. Is it somehow possible to use temporary self signed
certificates to enable SSL over LDAP on one server?
