Re: (ITS#7398) Retrieve LDAP server cert

I presume Michael's case is one of the few in which the client would pay enough attention to details when using such an option.

Whether a case like this deserves an OpenLDAP API is questionable, since it is not an LDAP-specific issue, but rather a general SSL wrapping issue. OTOH, as long as clever client design often needs it, I would not object to adding such feature.
