Error when refusing to add a user or change a password over a non-SSL Active Directory connection is uninformative

When attempting to create a user or change a password over a non-SSL connection, you'll get a cryptic error (which is tenuously connected in the documentation to the fact that you need to configure an SSL connection). I think it would be much better if Crowd simply informed the user that it was not possible to take these actions over a non-SSL LDAP connection.

The error I get in this case is this:

Entity Invalid: [com.atlassian.crowd.integration.model.user.UserTemplateWithAttributes@45f778[name=another.test,directoryId=32770,active=true,emailAddress=anothertest@demiurgestudios.com,firstName=Another,lastName=Test,displayName=Another Test,iconLocation=]] with error: [LDAP: error code 53 - 0000001F: SvcErr: DSID-031A0FC0, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0 ]; nested exception is javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException: [LDAP: error code 53 - 0000001F: SvcErr: DSID-031A0FC0, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM), data 0 ]; remaining name 'cn=another.test, OU=All Users,OU=Demiurge,DC=DEMIURGE,DC=LOCAL'
