All Known Implementing Classes:

LdapClientConnection
```
public interface TLSCapableConnection
```
This interface defines a set of methods that must be implemented by a class (expected to be a client connection) that can dynamically enable and disable the TLS connection security provider. This will be used by the StartTLS extended operation handler to perform the core function of enabling TLS on an established connection.

    Parameters:
    
    unavailableReason - The buffer used to hold the reason that TLS is not available on the underlying client connection.
    
    Returns:
