 * This class implements the LDAPv3 Extended Response for StartTLS as
 * defined in
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2830.txt">Lightweight Directory
 * Access Protocol (v3): Extension for Transport Layer Security</a>
 *
 * The object identifier for StartTLS is 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037
 * and no extended response value is defined.
 *
 *<p>
 * The Start TLS extended request and response are used to establish
 * a TLS connection over the existing LDAP connection associated with
 * the JNDI context on which <tt>extendedOperation()</tt> is invoked.
 * Typically, a JNDI program uses the StartTLS extended request and response
 * classes as follows.
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * import javax.naming.ldap.*;
 *
 * // Open an LDAP association
 * LdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext();
 *
 * // Perform a StartTLS extended operation
 * StartTlsResponse tls =
 *     (StartTlsResponse) ctx.extendedOperation(new StartTlsRequest());
 *
 * // Open a TLS connection (over the existing LDAP association) and get details
 * // of the negotiated TLS session: cipher suite, peer certificate, ...
 * SSLSession session = tls.negotiate();
 *
 * // ... use ctx to perform protected LDAP operations
 *
 * // Close the TLS connection (revert back to the underlying LDAP association)
 * tls.close();
 *
 * // ... use ctx to perform unprotected LDAP operations
 *
 * // Close the LDAP association
 * ctx.close;
