No.  Sorry, my mistake.  I wanted to simplify the description, and so wrote 'test-ds2' when in
acutality, the host I'm trying to make a consumer via replication over ssl is 'test-ds3'.   I just
thought it would read better as 'test-ds1 and test-ds2' instead of what I actually have: test-ds1 the supplier, and test-ds3 the consumer.

Yes it works.

The replication agreement still had the state I reported below, so I 'restarted' the replication by issuing this command:
ldapmodify -cax -h localhost -y ~jdetert/pword -D 'cn=Directory Manager' <<BYE
dn: cn=dc-ihc-dc-com-to-ds3, cn=replica, cn="dc=infinityhealthcare,dc=com", cn=mapping tree, cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh
nsds5BeginReplicaRefresh: start
BYE

However, replication still doesn't work.  Here's what the agreement looks like now:

dn: cn=dc-ihc-dc-com-to-ds3,cn=replica,cn=dc\3Dinfinityhealthcare\2Cdc\3Dcom,c
 n=mapping tree,cn=config

Getting to that.  Will reply when I've tried it.
