Looking for an LDAP testing tool.

I hate to say it, but sometimes our company is behind when it comes to technology. We are finally upgrading our security framework to leverage LDAP. My current environment, the one I own at work, is Domino 7.0.3 and Websphere 6.1. As the administrator configures the environment I want to test for connectivity, availability of data and session management. I found a tool called JXplorer, an be downloaded here, that will help me test the connectivity and data.

Does anyone know of a tool or code I can use to test session management between the Domino, Websphere, and Microsoft servers (VB.NET applications) ?
