[Openinteract-dev] LDAP Start TLS

[Kutter M. <mar...@si...>]

Hi * !

OI2::DataSourceManager::LDAP currently misses some functionality. One of
these is the ability to use TLS (Transport Layer Security) on LDAP
connections (Net::LDAP does support that).

The attached patch makes the use of TLS in OI2 LDAP datasources configurable
via the 

[datasource ldap]
start_tls = 1|0

directive. The default is not to use TLS, which is the current OI2
behaviour.

This change allows to use secure connection to OI2 backends, while being
non-intrusive to existing applications.

Regards,

Martin Kutter
